Feature Request: UI localization / Spanish interface support

Currently, the \language\ setting in \settings.json\ only changes the language of Claude's responses, but the Claude Code interface (input placeholder 'Ask a question...', buttons, menus, etc.) remains in English with no way to change it.

It would be very useful to have full UI localization support, especially for Spanish-speaking users in Latin America and Spain who represent a large portion of the user base.

Current behavior: Interface is English-only regardless of system language or \language\ setting.

Expected behavior: UI elements should respect the user's preferred language, similar to how VS Code handles language packs.

extent analysis

TL;DR

Implementing UI localization support, such as adding language packs, is likely the most effective way to address the issue of the interface remaining in English.

Guidance

  • Review the current implementation of the \language\ setting in \settings.json\ to understand how it only affects Claude's responses and not the UI elements.
  • Investigate the feasibility of introducing language packs, similar to VS Code, to support multiple languages, including Spanish.
  • Consider the requirements for translating UI elements such as input placeholders, buttons, and menus to ensure a consistent user experience.
  • Evaluate the need for a fallback mechanism to handle cases where a user's preferred language is not supported.

Example

No code snippet is provided as the issue is focused on feature request rather than a specific code-related problem.

Notes

The solution may involve significant changes to the application's architecture and requires careful consideration of the user experience and potential technical challenges.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Implementing a basic translation mechanism for UI elements, such as using a separate translation file for Spanish, could be a temporary solution until full UI localization support is developed.
