Request
Add Chinese (Simplified, zh-CN) localization for the Claude Code UI — menus, status messages, prompts, and error text.
Motivation
Non-English-speaking developers (especially Chinese users) would benefit from a localized interface. The core value of Claude Code is in the AI conversation, but the surrounding chrome (permission prompts, status line, slash-command descriptions, help text) is all English and adds friction for users who think in Chinese.
Suggested scope
- Permission dialog text
- Status line labels
- Slash-command names and descriptions
- Help output (
/help) - Error and warning messages
- Plan mode UI text
- Task tracking labels
Happy to help test or review translations.
