feat(i18n): enhance translation loading and preloading mechanism

- Introduced a utility function `ensureTranslationsLoaded` to preload essential translation namespaces, improving app initialization.
- Updated `App` component to initialize translations alongside CSRF token on startup.
- Created custom hooks `useTranslationPreloader`, `useBulkActionTranslations`, and `useTaskManagementTranslations` to manage translation readiness and prevent Suspense issues.
- Refactored components to utilize new translation hooks, ensuring translations are ready before rendering.
- Enhanced `OptimizedBulkActionBar` and `TaskListBoard` components to improve user experience during language switching.
