+ * Creates a post-translation function that decodes HTML entities in translated strings.

+ * @returns A function that takes a translated value and decodes any HTML entities if it's a string.
+ *          If the input is not a string, it returns the original value unchanged.
+ * 
+ * @example
+ * const decode = createHtmlEntityDecoder();
+ * decode("&amp;"); // Returns "&"
+ * decode(123); // Returns 123
+ * const i18n = createI18n({
+ *  // ... other options
