Feature request: Add Traditional Chinese (zh-TW) localization for the desktop UI
Summary
Please consider adding internationalization (i18n) support for the Claude Code desktop interface, starting with Traditional Chinese (zh-TW).
Motivation
Claude Code is a powerful tool, but its UI is currently English-only. A localized interface would significantly lower the barrier to entry for Traditional Chinese-speaking developers, students, and teams, and make the tool more accessible to non-native English speakers.
Proposed scope
- A language setting to switch the UI language (e.g. via
/configor a settings option). - Traditional Chinese (zh-TW) as the first non-English locale.
- An i18n string-extraction framework so additional languages can be contributed by the community over time.
Notes / considerations
I understand localization is a real engineering effort, not just string replacement — it touches terminal font/wide-character alignment, line wrapping, an ongoing translation-maintenance workflow, etc. Even partial localization of the most common UI strings and messages would be a meaningful first step.
Additional context
Happy to help contribute translations for zh-TW if community contributions are welcomed.
