Description
What problem are you trying to solve?
I work primarily in Chinese. The assistant responds in Chinese without any
issue, but the desktop interface is English-only — there is no option to
change the interface language anywhere in Settings. So every navigation
label, settings page, button, dialog, and system message has to be read in
a second language, which adds constant low-level friction to everyday use.
What would improve it?
Simplified Chinese localization for the desktop app — at minimum the
surfaces I see most often: navigation, Settings, buttons, dialogs, and
system messages.
A language option in Settings (System default / English / 简体中文) would
be a good starting point. Even a partial translation of the most frequently
seen screens would be a meaningful improvement. Ideally the CLI would
follow, but the desktop is where it matters most for me.
I understand full localization is a large undertaking, so I'm not expecting
complete coverage immediately.
What do you do today?
Read all interface text in English. I've gotten used to the common labels,
but unfamiliar or newly added screens still take extra effort to parse.

Research direction
Start by locating the desktop app's Settings language controls and the code or resources for navigation, buttons, dialogs, and system messages. Define the initial Simplified Chinese scope and how the option appears alongside System default and English. Done means the selected language changes the agreed desktop surfaces, with partial coverage clearly documented.
