Currently all interface text in the Claude Code UI (VS Code extension) — the whimsical status verbs shown while processing (e.g. "Churning...", "Thinking...", "Pondering..."), tool action labels ("Write", "Read", "Edit", etc.), and other UI strings — is hardcoded in English with no way to configure or switch it.
Similar to how VS Code itself supports language packs for its UI, it would be great if Claude Code offered localization options for non-English-speaking users.
