claude-code - 💡(How to fix) Fix Feature Request: UI Localization / Russian Language Support [1 comments, 2 participants]

TL;DR

Extract UI strings into localization files and add a language setting to support multiple languages.

Guidance

• Identify all hardcoded UI strings in the Claude Code UI and extract them into separate localization files (e.g., locales/en.json, locales/ru.json) to enable easy translation and management.
• Introduce a language setting in settings.json to allow users to select their preferred language.
• Consider auto-detecting the locale from the LANG environment variable as a fallback for users who don't manually set the language.
• Review the proposed solution steps to ensure they align with the existing codebase and architecture of Claude Code.

Example

No code snippet is provided as the issue focuses on a feature request rather than a specific coding problem.

Notes

The solution's feasibility and implementation details may depend on the internal architecture of Claude Code and how it handles UI rendering and configuration settings. This guidance assumes that the proposed solution steps are technically viable.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Implement the proposed localization solution to enhance user experience for non-English speakers, as it aligns with the motivation and environment described.
