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
