📄 Description

Replaces phonetic Korean translations with the original product name
Matches the approach used in other Asian locales (ja, cn)

Closes #5659

The Korean locale file currently translates "Hoppscotch" to phonetic Korean ("호프스카치" or "홉스카치"), which feels unnatural to native speakers. This PR updates all instances to use "Hoppscotch" in English, consistent with how Japanese and Chinese locales handle the product name.

What's changed

Replaced all instances of "호프스카치" with "Hoppscotch" in ko.json
Replaced all instances of "홉스카치" with "Hoppscotch" in ko.json
Ensures consistency throughout the Korean translation file
Aligns Korean locale with Japanese (ja.json) and Chinese (cn.json) approaches

Notes to reviewers

This change only affects the Korean locale file (packages/hoppscotch-common/locales/ko.json)
No functional changes - purely text updates for better UX
As a native Korean speaker, I can confirm this change makes the interface feel more natural and professional
Product/brand names are typically kept in English in Korean tech localization

Summary by cubic

Kept the product name as Hoppscotch (English) across the Korean locale, replacing phonetic forms to improve brand consistency and match Japanese/Chinese locales. Text-only update in packages/hoppscotch-common/locales/ko.json; no functional changes.
