i18n(ja_JP): "dictate" incorrectly translated as 「描写」 in Japanese UI(codex app)
What version of the Codex App are you using (From “About Codex” dialog)?
26.311.21342
What subscription do you have?
ChatGPT Pro
What platform is your computer?
Microsoft Windows NT 10.0.19045.0 x64
What issue are you seeing?
In the Japanese UI, the translation of "dictate" seems incorrect.
English
Click to dictate or hold Ctrl+M
Japanese (ja_JP)
クリックして描写または保持します Ctrl+M
In Japanese, "描写" usually means "portray", or "illustrate".
It does not mean "dictate".
In this context, "dictate" refers to speech input.
What steps can reproduce the bug?
- Run the Codex app in a Japanese environment.
- Hover over the microphone input area where the hint text appears.
- The tooltip shows the Japanese translation of "Click to dictate or hold Ctrl+M".
What is the expected behavior?
The Japanese translation should reflect the meaning of "dictate" as speech input.
For example:
「クリックして音声入力、または Ctrl+M を長押し」
(For reference, the ChatGPT app translates "dictate" as 「音声入力」 in Japanese.)
Additional information
PS.
Thank you for releasing the Codex app🤖 for Windows. I really appreciate the great work of the Codex team 👨💻 and OpenAI’s open development approach.
Personally, I would be happy if the app itself also became an open source someday, because it would allow us developers to hack on it and explore new ideas.
Anyway, I’m looking forward to seeing how the project develops. We’re excited about its future!!!
