What
Add internationalization (i18n) support to the Codex desktop app, starting with Simplified Chinese (zh-CN) localization.

Why
Many developers in China and Chinese-speaking regions use Codex daily but the UI is only available in English. This creates a significant barrier to entry and reduces productivity for non-English speakers.

Scope

  • Menu bar items (File, Edit, View, etc.)
  • Sidebar panels (Threads, Projects, Settings)
  • Dialogs and confirmation messages
  • Error messages and notifications
  • Onboarding/welcome screens
  • All other visible UI strings

Implementation Suggestions

  • Extract all UI strings into a localization layer (e.g., JSON translation files)
  • Detect system locale or respect localeOverride in config.toml
