**What are Project Categories?**
Project categories are used to sort projects by type or purpose. Examples include:
- New client project
- Change request
- Service order

This categorization makes it easier to analyze project data, for example comparing revenue from existing clients versus new ones.

**What is returned:**
- Category ID, name, icon, and description
- Sort order (for display ordering)
- Multilingual translations (name and description in multiple languages)

**Note:** All project categories support bilingual labels. The translations array contains localized names and descriptions that are automatically shown based on the user interface language.
