Create Forgery is a Society check, so any class with high intelligence would work. Wizard, Witch, Investigator, Alchemist or a Mastermind Rogue. Take your pick.
I don't think there's any feats or abilities that support creating a forgry directly. But you can improve your mastery of language with the Linguist archetype.

To piggyback off of HumbleGamer, Halfling's have a 5th level feat Cultural Adaptability which gives Adopted Ancestry plus a 1st level feat, making the whole process a LOT less costly.
And I think you'll find linguistics more rewarding in PF2 since it's harder to acquire languages casually (feats rather than skill points) and spells which bypass like Comprehend Languages and Tongues have been bumped in level (with the latter also being Uncommon).
It's unfortunate if your imagery for your PC can't be small! He can still carry himself large. :)
And I'd recommend Rogue Thief rather even if you can't get to 18 Int at 1st level since it's pretty simple to get to 18 in PF2 and Rogue will give you both the skill feats for tons of languages as well as some cool Diplomacy & Society skill feats.
Why Thief Racket? Mainly because it frees up other stats. A Mastermind can't ignore Str so much since it's tied to damage, but a Thief has the freedom to boost stats elsewhere, even dump Str (if you are a Halfling or Gnome).
Str 8, Dex 18, Con 12, Int 14, Wis 12, Cha 14.
This is an RPing + skirmish stat set for Stride/Strike/Stride away. Personally, I'd shift more into Con & Wis because I find combat most important. And in PF2, if using published adventures, you must contribute in combat. It's not like PF1 where a few specialists can carry the day, which is why I don't recommend Mastermind which would do much less damage during key events (battles) for a modest boost to skills (which will already be near their peak).

Your stats are too high; recalculate unless there's an exception in your game.
The Linguist Archetype won't be available until 2nd level.
Halfling Weapon Familiarity? Why?
You want to poke them with a Filcher's Fork?
That's suits the name, which is cool. Just note it'll cost you another feat later to keep weapon proficiency up to snuff, and that feat competes against much stronger feats.
Twin Feint has a hard time working with skirmishing and she'll be far too fragile not to skirmish. Poke will die if she stays adjacent to enemies in the early rounds of combat (and you don't get Dex to damage if you throw).
Those small differences in AC & h.p. actually mean a lot! It might be best to think of her as pre-injured every battle and ask yourself what tactics should an injured PC take to contribute yet stay safer? (Safer since safe isn't really an option.) This advice applies if playing Paizo adventures.

Not true, the Halfling Weapon Familiarity feat says
"For the purpose of determining your proficiency, martial halfling weapons are simple weapons"So the Rogue's proficiency increases do affect it.

Whoopsies. :)
I just followed the apps automated build, after reading your comment and checking the handbook I don't see where it's wrong. My Ancestry gives me DEX, WIS, +1 Free. My Background gives me INT, +1 Free. Class makes DEX my Key Ability score. Then after that it states that you get 4 more boosts of your choice. That's a total of +10 which is what I haveYour stats are too high; recalculate unless there's an exception in your game.
You increased CON once, WIS once, CHA twice, INT three times, and DEX four times. That's eleven increases rather than ten.

My total mistake y'all, I posted my CHA as 14 when it's actually 12. It has been 12, I just accidentally put 14 on the postYou increased CON once, WIS once, CHA twice, INT three times, and DEX four times.

That explains it.
Here is the Translator Background that you were looking for.
