Summary

The OpenClaw WebChat control interface (buttons, menus, system labels, status messages) is currently hardcoded in English. There is no language/locale setting to switch the UI language.

Request

Add internationalization (i18n) support to the WebChat frontend so users can choose their preferred locale, with Simplified Chinese (zh-CN) as a priority.

Specific areas needing localization

  • Navigation menu labels
  • Button text (Send, Save, Cancel, etc.)
  • System status messages
  • Settings/config panel labels
  • Tooltips and placeholder text
  • Error messages and notifications

Notes

  • The docs site already has zh-CN glossary (docs/.i18n/glossary.zh-CN.json), so some translation groundwork exists.
  • A locale or language config field in openclaw.json would be a clean approach.
