In the "Shortcuts" menu categories have English names (Social Media, Maps, Transport, Weather). It would be great to make them configurable via translation files.

Shortcuts are meant to be fully customizable by the user, categories included. It's free text and the modal window groups all the links based on categories by the same name.

{
    name: "Twitter Media",
    category: "📱 Social Media",
    url: "https://twitter.com/search?q=geocode:$lat,$lng,1km&f=media",
},

In order to provide translation for the categories, they'd need to be locked on a specific preset.

I'm not against the idea per se, but this tool was designed to be as accessible as possible for non-techies as well (think of researchers, journalists, investigators), and having a fixed preset of categories might make things a bit confusing while customizing the configuration via file. One way to make this happen without much fuss could be #2, which makes Avoc configurable from the UI.

I'll leave this PR open in the meantime, with a tentative to do list:

  1. wait for Add a configuration window on the UI #2 to be implemented
  2. identify a preset of categories
  3. implement the choosing of a category via dropdown on the UI
