Just a little update, this is the process I'm using to read the language configuration file; I think this is necessary because when YOU READ or WRITE the "language", in your own language, it is read and written differently ... you know, have you tried to "READ" a word or phrase using the "accent" of another language, sounds weird right?
I know that this code needs many improvements, that's why I put it here, waiting for your suggestions, corrections, critics and improvements.

After running the program on the ESP32:
I'm trying not to use "Strings" and use "string" objects, but I have to learn its correct handling better, my programming knowledge is all self-learning, so if your eyes burn when you see my way of programming, I'm sorry
.
I have tried to use the BBCODE [spoiler] [/spoiler], but it is disabled in the forum?
