Add a GitHub Actions workflow that watches .xcstrings files and runs autoglot when they change. The workflow sends the catalog and target languages to autoglot, waits for translation, and writes the updated localization data back to the repository.
Because autoglot retains translated entries and reuses cached results, routine source-code changes do not require translating the entire catalog again.

GitHub Actions runs the localization job only when an .xcstrings file changes.
autoglot identifies new strings and localizations whose state says they need another translation.
Target languages are produced in bulk, with protected placeholders and structural validation.
The updated catalogs return to the codebase so localizations stay synchronized with source changes.
The workflow is designed for repeated use as an app evolves, not just for an initial translation pass.
Existing translated entries remain untouched while new or changed work is processed.
Cached source, language, and context matches are reused across repeated workflow runs.
Xcode format specifiers and substitutions are protected before text reaches the translator.
Glossaries and project style guidance keep recurring product language consistent.
