ComfyUI interface language switching

Under normal circumstances, ComfyUI will automatically switch languages ​​according to your current browser/system language. If you open and run ComfyUI and find that the language is not what you want, you can manually switch languages ​​in the menu settings.

The old version menu only supports English, the new version menu supports multiple languages, and switching languages ​​will not take effect on the old version menu interface.
