🚀 Translate Files with Multiple AI APIs (GitHub Action)

---

This GitHub Action detects changes in specified file types (Markdown, JSON, TXT, etc.), translates the modified content using various AI models (OpenAI GPT-4, Google Gemini, Anthropic Claude, Microsoft Azure Translator), and commits the translations back to your repository.

• ✅ Supports multiple file extensions
• ✅ Preserves YAML front matter in markdown files
• ✅ Allows custom output file formats
• ✅ Automatically commits and pushes translated files
• ✅ Supports multiple AI provioders (OpenAI ChatGPT, Google Gemini, Claude, Azure)

🛠 How It Works

• Detects changed files (based on extensions like .md, .json, .txt).
• Extracts and preserves YAML front matter (if applicable).
• Sends content to AI API for translation.
• Saves the translated version with a custom filename format (e.g., -fr.md, translated_.json).
• Commits and pushes the translated files back to the repository.
