Refactor i18n integration and update tests for improved localization

- Updated test components (`PasswordResetConfirmForm`, `PasswordChangeForm`) to use i18n keys directly, ensuring accurate validation messages.
- Refined translations in `it.json` to standardize format and content.
- Replaced text-based labels with localized strings in `PasswordResetRequestForm` and `RegisterForm`.
- Introduced `generateLocalizedMetadata` utility and updated layout metadata generation for locale-aware SEO.
- Enhanced e2e tests with locale-prefixed routes and updated assertions for consistency.
- Added comprehensive i18n documentation (`I18N.md`) for usage, architecture, and testing.

+# Internationalization (i18n) Guide
+
+This document describes the internationalization implementation in the FastNext Template.
+
+## Overview
+
+The application supports multiple languages using [next-intl](https://next-intl-docs.vercel.app/) v4.5.3, a modern i18n library for Next.js 15 App Router.
+
+**Supported Locales:**
+
+- English (`en`) - Default
+- Italian (`it`)
+
+## Architecture
+
+### URL Structure
+
+All routes are locale-prefixed using the `[locale]` dynamic segment:
+
+```
+/en/login          → English login page
+/it/login          → Italian login page
+/en/settings       → English settings
+/it/settings       → Italian settings
+```
+
+### Core Files
+
+```

+├── src/
+│   ├── lib/
+│   │   ├── i18n/
+│   │   │   ├── routing.ts           # Locale routing configuration
+│   │   │   ├── utils.ts             # Locale utility functions

+│       └── navigation/
+│           └── LocaleSwitcher.tsx   # Language switcher component
+├── messages/
+│   ├── en.json                      # English translations

+└── types/
+    └── next-intl.d.ts              # TypeScript type definitions
+```
+
+## Usage
+
+### Client Components
+
+Use the `useTranslations` hook from `next-intl`:
+
+```typescript
+'use client';
+
+import { useTranslations } from 'next-intl';
+
+export function MyComponent() {
+  const t = useTranslations('namespace');
+
+  return (
+    <div>
+      <h1>{t('title')}</h1>
+      <p>{t('description')}</p>
+    </div>
+  );
+}
+```
+
+### Server Components
+
+Use `getTranslations` from `next-intl/server`:
+
+```typescript
+import { getTranslations } from 'next-intl/server';
+
+export default async function MyPage() {
+  const t = await getTranslations('namespace');
+
+  return (
+    <div>
+      <h1>{t('title')}</h1>
+      <p>{t('description')}</p>
+    </div>
+  );
+}
+```
+
+### Navigation
+
+**Always use the locale-aware navigation utilities:**
+
+```typescript
+import { Link, useRouter, usePathname } from '@/lib/i18n/routing';
+
+// Link component (automatic locale prefix)
+<Link href="/settings">Settings</Link>  // → /en/settings
+
+// Router hooks
+function MyComponent() {
+  const router = useRouter();
+  const pathname = usePathname();
+
+  const handleClick = () => {
+    router.push('/dashboard');  // → /en/dashboard
+  };
+
+  return <button onClick={handleClick}>Go to Dashboard</button>;
+}
+```
+
+**⚠️ Never import from `next/navigation` directly** - always use `@/lib/i18n/routing`
+
+### Forms with Validation
+
+Create dynamic Zod schemas that accept translation functions:
+
+```typescript
+import { useTranslations } from 'next-intl';
+import { z } from 'zod';
+
+const createLoginSchema = (t: (key: string) => string) =>
+  z.object({
+    email: z.string().min(1, t('validation.required')).email(t('validation.email')),
+    password: z.string().min(1, t('validation.required')),
+  });
+
+export function LoginForm() {
+  const t = useTranslations('auth.login');
+  const tValidation = useTranslations('validation');
+
+  const schema = createLoginSchema((key) => {
+    if (key.startsWith('validation.')) {
+      return tValidation(key.replace('validation.', ''));
+    }
+    return t(key);
+  });
+
+  // Use schema with react-hook-form...
+}
+```
+
+## Translation Files
+
+### Structure
+
+Translations are organized hierarchically in JSON files:
+
+```json
+{
+  "common": {
+    "loading": "Loading...",
+    "save": "Save"
+  },
+  "auth": {
+    "login": {
+      "title": "Sign in to your account",
+      "emailLabel": "Email",
+      "passwordLabel": "Password"
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Access Patterns
+
+```typescript
+// Nested namespace access
+const t = useTranslations('auth.login');
+t('title'); // → "Sign in to your account"
+
+// Multiple namespaces
+const tAuth = useTranslations('auth.login');
+const tCommon = useTranslations('common');
+
+tAuth('title'); // → "Sign in to your account"
+tCommon('loading'); // → "Loading..."
+```
+
+## SEO & Metadata
+
+### Page Metadata
+
+Use the `generatePageMetadata` helper for locale-aware metadata:
+
+```typescript
+import { Metadata } from 'next';
+import { generatePageMetadata, type Locale } from '@/lib/i18n/metadata';
+import { getTranslations } from 'next-intl/server';
+
+export async function generateMetadata({
+  params,
+}: {
+  params: Promise<{ locale: string }>;
+}): Promise<Metadata> {
+  const { locale } = await params;
+  const t = await getTranslations({ locale, namespace: 'auth.login' });
+
+  return generatePageMetadata(locale as Locale, t('title'), t('subtitle'), '/login');
+}
+```
+
+This automatically generates:
+
+- Open Graph tags
+- Twitter Card tags
+- Language alternates (hreflang)
+- Canonical URLs
+
+### Sitemap
+
+The sitemap (`/sitemap.xml`) automatically includes all public routes for both locales with language alternates.
+
+### Robots.txt
+
+The robots.txt (`/robots.txt`) allows crawling of public routes and references the sitemap.
+
+## Locale Switching
+
+Users can switch languages using the `LocaleSwitcher` component in the header:
+
+```typescript
+import { LocaleSwitcher } from '@/components/navigation/LocaleSwitcher';
+
+<LocaleSwitcher />
+```
+
+The switcher:
+
+- Displays the current locale
+- Lists available locales
+- Preserves the current path when switching
+- Uses the locale-aware router
+
+## Type Safety
+
+TypeScript autocomplete for translation keys is enabled via `types/next-intl.d.ts`:
+
+```typescript
+import en from '@/messages/en.json';
+
+type Messages = typeof en;
+
+declare global {
+  interface IntlMessages extends Messages {}
+}
+```
+
+This provides:
+
+- Autocomplete for translation keys
+- Type errors for missing keys
+- IntelliSense in IDEs
+
+## Testing
+
+### Unit Tests
+
+Mock `next-intl` in `jest.setup.js`:
+
+```javascript
+jest.mock('next-intl', () => ({
+  useTranslations: (namespace) => {
+    return (key) => key; // Return key as-is for tests
+  },
+  useLocale: () => 'en',
+}));
+
+jest.mock('next-intl/server', () => ({
+  getTranslations: jest.fn(async () => (key) => key),
+}));
+```
+
+### E2E Tests
+
+Update Playwright tests to include locale prefixes:
+
+```typescript
+test('navigates to login', async ({ page }) => {
+  await page.goto('/en/login'); // Include locale prefix
+  await expect(page).toHaveURL('/en/login');
+});
+```
+
+## Adding New Languages
+
+1. **Create translation file:**
+
+   ```bash
+   cp messages/en.json messages/fr.json
+   # Translate all values in fr.json
+   ```
+
+2. **Update routing configuration:**
+
+   ```typescript
+   // src/lib/i18n/routing.ts
+   export const routing = defineRouting({
+     locales: ['en', 'it', 'fr'], // Add 'fr'
+     defaultLocale: 'en',
+   });
+   ```
+
+3. **Update type definitions:**
+
+   ```typescript
+   // src/lib/i18n/metadata.ts
+   export type Locale = 'en' | 'it' | 'fr'; // Add 'fr'
+   ```
+
+4. **Update LocaleSwitcher:**
+   ```typescript
+   // src/components/navigation/LocaleSwitcher.tsx
+   const localeNames: Record<string, string> = {
+     en: 'English',
+     it: 'Italiano',
+     fr: 'Français', // Add French
+   };
+   ```
+
+## Best Practices
+
+### DO ✅
+
+- Use locale-aware navigation (`@/lib/i18n/routing`)
+- Create dynamic validation schemas
+- Use nested translation keys for organization
+- Test with multiple locales
+- Keep translation files in sync
+- Use TypeScript types for autocomplete
+
+### DON'T ❌
+
+- Don't hardcode text in components
+- Don't import from `next/navigation` directly
+- Don't use template strings for validation messages (use static messages)
+- Don't forget to update both `en.json` and `it.json`
+- Don't skip testing translated components
+
+## Performance
+
+The implementation is optimized for performance:
+
+- **Server-side translation loading**: Messages loaded on server, passed to client
+- **Lazy loading**: Only current locale messages are loaded
+- **Font optimization**: `display: 'swap'` prevents layout shift
+- **Preloading**: Primary font preloaded, secondary font lazy-loaded
+- **Caching**: Next.js automatically caches translation files
+
+## Common Issues
+
+### "Module not found: Can't resolve 'next/navigation'"
+
+**Solution**: Use `@/lib/i18n/routing` instead:
+
+```diff
+- import { useRouter } from 'next/navigation'
++ import { useRouter } from '@/lib/i18n/routing'
+```
+
+### E2E tests failing with "Page not found"
+
+**Solution**: Add locale prefix to URLs:
+
+```diff
+- await page.goto('/login')
++ await page.goto('/en/login')
+```
+
+### TypeScript error: "Property does not exist on type"
+
+**Solution**: Ensure the key exists in `messages/en.json` and restart TypeScript server.
+
+### ICU message format error
+
+**Solution**: Use static messages instead of templates:
+
+```diff
+// ❌ Bad (ICU format not configured)
+- "minLength": "Must be at least {count} characters"
+
+// ✅ Good
++ "minLength": "Must be at least 8 characters"
+```
