build(docker): compile backend translations during image build (#12203)

* build(docker): compile backend trasnlations during image build

* test(docker): verify compiled backend translations exist in image

Add checks to the "Test Docker Image" step that assert the compiled
django.mo files are present for a few representative languages (de, fr,
ru, zh_Hans). This guards the newly added backend translation
compilation step in the production Dockerfile, ensuring the multilingual
artifacts are produced at the expected locale paths.
