Summary

  • Replace outdated PatLevin/Avibase references with current IOC + Wikidata system
  • Add comprehensive language coverage tables with actual species counts from databases
  • Document all 44 IOC languages and 57 Wikidata languages with coverage levels

Changes

  • docs/en/index.md: Fix translation precedence reference (IOC → Wikidata)
  • docs/en/language-configuration.md: Complete rewrite of language tables and database descriptions

Language Coverage Added

  • Full coverage (10,000+ species): 21 languages
  • Good coverage (5,000-10,000): 7 languages
  • Partial coverage (1,000-5,000): 9 languages
  • Limited coverage (<1,000): 14 languages

Test plan

  • Pre-commit checks pass
  • Documentation renders correctly

docs: Update language docs to reflect IOC + Wikidata databases
5c39239 
The translation system now uses two databases:
- IOC World Bird List (24 languages, authoritative taxonomy)
- Wikidata (57+ languages, community-maintained)

Removed outdated references to PatLevin and Avibase databases which
are no longer used in the current implementation.
