openclaw - 💡(How to fix) Fix [Feature]: Add i18n support to CLI setup wizard (onboarding, gateway config, channel setup)

Summary

The CLI setup wizard (onboarding, channel setup, gateway config, plugin config, etc.) has no i18n support — all user-facing prompts, labels, hints, and options are hardcoded English strings.

Problem to solve

The wizard files under src/wizard/, src/commands/, and src/flows/ display English-only text regardless of the user's locale. Non-English speakers doing openclaw setup or openclaw onboard see untranslated prompts like "Gateway port", "Enable hooks?", "Select channel" etc.

There is no t() helper or locale map wired into the wizard system at all.

Proposed solution

Create a src/wizard/i18n/ module with:

• types.ts — type definition for the locale map
• index.ts — a t() helper function that looks up translated strings
• locales/zh-CN.ts — Simplified Chinese locale map
• locales/zh-TW.ts — Traditional Chinese locale map

Then add import { t } and wrap hardcoded strings with t() in these files (files with changes needed):

• src/commands/onboard-custom.ts — ~10 strings
• src/commands/onboard-hooks.ts — ~2 strings
• src/commands/onboard-remote.ts — ~12 strings
• src/commands/onboard-skills.ts — ~5 strings
• src/flows/channel-setup.ts — ~6 strings
• src/wizard/setup.finalize.ts — ~5 strings
• src/wizard/setup.gateway-config.ts — ~13 strings
• src/wizard/setup.migration-import.ts — ~6 strings
• src/wizard/setup.official-plugins.ts — ~2 strings
• src/wizard/setup.plugin-config.ts — ~4 strings
• src/wizard/setup.ts — ~8 strings

Alternatives considered

Adding locale entries to existing locale files (ui/src/i18n/locales/) was considered, but the wizard code lives outside the UI package and has its own import paths, so a standalone i18n module is cleaner.

Impact

• Affected: Non-English-speaking users running CLI setup/onboarding
• Severity: Medium — does not block setup but creates poor UX for non-English users
• Frequency: Every CLI setup/onboarding session
• Consequence: Chinese/other locale users see English-only prompts during the entire wizard flow

Evidence/examples

Confirmed by reading the current source — none of the listed files have an import { t } statement or any wrapped strings.
