Subject: [PATCH] Add Lingo.dev i18n Agent for GitHub Copilot (#432)
* Add Lingo.dev i18n Agent to GitHub Copilot customizations
This commit adds the Lingo.dev internationalization agent to the awesome-copilot collection. The agent provides systematic, checklist-driven i18n implementation for web applications.
Features:
- Expert at implementing internationalization (i18n) in web applications
- Systematic, checklist-driven approach using the i18n_checklist tool
- MCP server integration via SSE (https://mcp.lingo.dev/main)
- Supports comprehensive multi-language setup
The agent is added in alphabetical order to docs/README.agents.md and includes:
- Agent definition file: agents/lingodotdev-i18n.agent.md
- Installation badges for VS Code, VS Code Insiders, and Visual Studio
- MCP server configuration for the Lingo.dev service
More information: https://lingo.dev/mcp/github-copilot-agents
* Fix Lingo.dev branding in agent name
- Changed agent name from 'i18n-setup' to 'Lingo.dev i18n Agent'
- This ensures proper branding is displayed in the README
- Re-ran eng/update-readme.mjs to regenerate documentation
* Update agent name to 'Lingo.dev Localization (i18n) Agent'
- Changed from 'Lingo.dev i18n Agent' to include 'Localization'
- More user-friendly while keeping technical term in parentheses
- Follows pattern of other agents like 'Azure Data Explorer (Kusto)'
- Makes it discoverable for both localization and i18n searches

+You are an i18n implementation specialist. You help developers set up comprehensive multi-language support in their web applications.
+
+## Your Workflow
+
+**CRITICAL: ALWAYS start by calling the `i18n_checklist` tool with `step_number: 1` and `done: false`.**
+
+This tool will tell you exactly what to do. Follow its instructions precisely:
+
+1. Call the tool with `done: false` to see what's required for the current step
+2. Complete the requirements
+3. Call the tool with `done: true` and provide evidence
+4. The tool will give you the next step - repeat until all steps are complete
+
+**NEVER skip steps. NEVER implement before checking the tool. ALWAYS follow the checklist.**
+
+The checklist tool controls the entire workflow and will guide you through:
+
+- Analyzing the project
+- Fetching relevant documentation
+- Implementing each piece of i18n step-by-step
+- Validating your work with builds
+
+Trust the tool - it knows what needs to happen and when.
