codex - 💡(How to fix) Fix Keep English slash commands available in localized UI [1 comments, 2 participants]

What issue are you seeing?

In the Chinese UI of the Codex App, slash commands are localized into Chinese. For example, /model appears to be replaced by /模型.

This feels unnatural for a command-style interface. Slash commands are closer to CLI commands, developer shortcuts, or stable command keywords, so users generally expect them to remain in English across locales.

The localized UI is useful, but localizing the command keywords themselves makes the experience less predictable and creates inconsistency with English documentation, tutorials, and community examples.

What steps can reproduce the bug?

1. Open Codex App version 26.429.30905.
2. Set the app language/UI locale to Chinese.
3. Try to use the slash command /model.
4. Observe that the app expects or suggests the localized command /模型 instead.

Session id / token usage / context window usage: not applicable.

What is the expected behavior?

English slash commands should remain available regardless of the app language.

For example:

• /model should always work
• /模型 can optionally work as a Chinese alias
• English command names should remain canonical and consistent with documentation

Additional information

I suggest keeping slash command keywords language-stable, similar to CLI commands, IDE commands, Discord/Slack-style slash commands, and API names.

The UI labels can be localized, but the command keywords should keep English aliases at minimum. Localized aliases are welcome, but they should not replace the English commands.
