Description

What issue are you seeing?

In the ChatGPT desktop app for Windows (package OpenAI.Codex, app version 26.915.4065.0), the interface locale is Traditional Chinese (zh-TW), but multiple user-facing labels remain in English across the Usage Overview and Analytics views. This is a localization coverage issue only; I am not reporting incorrect quota, credit, or billing calculations.

Analytics view

Observed untranslated strings:

  • Desktop App
  • Extension
  • By model
  • By surface
  • other
  • Plugins calls
  • Total
  • Chart tooltip dates such as Sep 5, 2026 and Aug 23, 2026
  • Trusted contact (also observed elsewhere in the Traditional Chinese settings UI)

There are also display-name/capitalization inconsistencies in the analytics legends, including Openai Docs, Pdf, Github, Huggingface, and Hf Cli. Product, model, plugin, and skill names do not necessarily need translation, but their official capitalization should be preserved.

Usage Overview view

Additional English fallback strings were observed while surrounding labels such as 你的方案, Plus 方案, 查看方案, and the remaining-percentage labels were already localized:

  • Usage
  • Overview
  • Your subscription is managed through ChatGPT. Go to Settings > Billing on Web to manage or cancel your plan
  • Plan limits
  • Shared across Codex, Work, Workspace Agents, and ChatGPT for Excel.
  • Chat conversations are not included. To increase usage, upgrade your plan
  • 5-hour limit
  • Resets in [duration]
  • Weekly limit

Terminology note: Skill / Skills is acceptable as an English product term and does not need to be translated into Chinese. This report therefore does not request translation of Skill or Skills, and the earlier proposed translation of Skills used is withdrawn.

No account balances, usage values, credits, remaining percentages, or private activity history are included in this report. The supporting screenshot is not attached because it contains plan and remaining-limit details; only the affected UI strings are transcribed above.

What steps can reproduce the bug?
  1. Launch the ChatGPT desktop app for Windows with the interface locale set to Traditional Chinese (zh-TW).
  2. Open the Usage page and select Overview.
  3. Observe that the plan heading and percentage labels are localized, while the Usage title, Overview tab, subscription guidance, plan-limit description, limit names, and reset text remain in English.
  4. Select Analytics and scroll through Personal usage, Turns, Plugins calls, and related sections.
  5. Hover over chart data points to display their tooltips.
  6. Observe that the surrounding interface is Traditional Chinese while the Analytics labels and tooltip content listed above remain in English.
  7. Open the settings location that contains Trusted contact; the label also remains in English under the Traditional Chinese locale.

For secondary verification, the same Analytics/Usage content also reproduces when its internal route is opened in Chrome: https://chatgpt.com/codex/cloud/settings/analytics#usage. The rendered page's lang attribute was confirmed as zh-TW. This browser reproduction is supplementary evidence; the original occurrence was in the Windows desktop app.

What is the expected behavior?

All stable user-facing labels, explanatory sentences, plan-limit descriptions, chart controls, legends, date formats, and tooltip text should follow the active zh-TW locale. Product terms may remain untranslated, including Skill / Skills, but official capitalization such as OpenAI, PDF, GitHub, Hugging Face, and HF CLI should be retained.

  • Locale: zh-TW
  • OS: Windows 11 Home, version 10.0.26200 (build 26200)

Related reports were checked before filing:

  • #46206 covers Korean strings on a different Usage & billing view.
  • #27255 and #37920 cover broader Chinese localization gaps in the desktop app.

This report is intentionally separate because it reproduces on the newer Usage and Analytics surfaces in the Windows desktop app with the Traditional Chinese locale and includes a specific, current string inventory.

Research direction

Start at the Usage Overview and Analytics entry points for the zh-TW locale, using the reported /codex/cloud/settings/analytics#usage route as a reproduction target. Trace the locale resources or rendering path responsible for the listed labels, legends, dates, and Trusted contact text. Done means the stable user-facing strings are localized, date formatting follows zh-TW, and official product capitalization is preserved.
