Problem
The Claude Code VS Code extension has no localization. Even with VS Code set to German (German language pack installed) and "language": "german" in settings.json, the extension's built-in UI strings stay in English, e.g. permission dialogs ("Do you want to make this edit?", "Yes / No / Allow all edits"), tool prompts and status messages.
Impact
For German-speaking users this makes permission decisions hard to understand, which is a safety concern when approving file edits or commands.
Expected
Fixed UI strings of the extension follow the VS Code display language (or the language setting), starting with German.
Environment
- VS Code with German Language Pack (ms-ceintl.vscode-language-pack-de)
- Claude Code VS Code extension, Windows 11
