feat(i18n): Refactor prompts and search agent to enhance language handling and formatting instructions

- Updated academicSearch, redditSearch, webSearch, wolframAlpha, writingAssistant, and youtubeSearch prompts to improve clarity and consistency in formatting instructions.
- Added language handling instructions to writingAssistant and other prompts for better localization support.
- Modified MetaSearchAgent to include locale and language parameters for improved prompt generation and language-specific responses.

 - **`systemInstructions`** (string, optional): Custom instructions provided by the user to guide the AI's response. These instructions are treated as user preferences and have lower priority than the system's core instructions. For example, you can specify a particular writing style, format, or focus area.
 
+- **`locale`** (string, optional): Specifies a custom locale for the search operation. If not provided, the default locale (en-US) will be used. This can be useful for tailoring search results to a specific language or region. Format: IETF BCP 47 codes ({ISO 639-1}-{ISO 3166-1 alpha-2}), see https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/bcp/bcp47.txt.

+### Language Instructions
+- **Language Definition**: Interpret "{language}" as a combination of language and optional region.
+  - Format: "language (region)" or "language（region）" (e.g., "English (US)", "繁體中文（台灣）").
+  - The main language indicates the linguistic system (e.g., English, 繁體中文, 日本語).
+  - The region in parentheses indicates the regional variant or locale style (e.g., US, UK, 台灣, 香港, France).
+- **Primary Language**: Use "{language}" for all non-code content, including explanations, descriptions, and examples.
+- **Regional Variants**: Adjust word choice, spelling, and style according to the region specified in "{language}" (e.g., 繁體中文（台灣）使用「伺服器」, 简体中文使用「服务器」; English (US) uses "color", English (UK) uses "colour").
+- **Code and Comments**: All code blocks and code comments must be entirely in "English (US)".
+- **Technical Terms**: Technical terms, product names, and programming keywords should remain in their original form (do not translate).
+- **Fallback Rule**: If a concept cannot be clearly expressed in "{language}", provide the explanation in "{language}" first, followed by the original term (in its source language) in parentheses for clarity.
