Summary

On the Windows Store Codex App, Chinese chat/model interaction works normally, but the desktop UI localization is incomplete. The interface shows mixed Simplified Chinese and English, especially in menu/settings/sidebar areas.

Environment

  • OS: Windows
  • Store package: OpenAI.Codex_26.422.3464.0_x64__2p2nqsd0c76g0
  • App context version observed: 26.422.30944
  • Windows culture/region: zh-CN
  • Windows UI culture observed: en-US

Troubleshooting already tried

  • Re-registered the Microsoft Store app package successfully.
  • Confirmed package status is Ok.
  • Confirmed zh-CN resources exist in the installed package.
  • Launched the Store app executable with --lang=zh-CN; renderer/network processes received the flag, but the UI remained mixed Chinese/English.

Expected behavior

When Simplified Chinese is selected or detected, the desktop UI should be consistently localized into Simplified Chinese.

Actual behavior

The UI remains partially Chinese and partially English.
