Codex desktop app: Simplified Chinese mistranslates Plan mode as "套餐"

Open 💬 2 comments Opened Jul 3, 2026 by kangmingxuan

Description

In the Codex desktop app, the Plan mode output header is localized as 套餐 in Simplified Chinese. In this context, "Plan" means an execution/task plan, not a subscription/package plan, so 套餐 is misleading.

The same localization issue was previously reported for the VS Code extension in #10609. This report is for the desktop app.

Suggested labels, if maintainers agree: bug, app, plan.

Environment

  • Variant: Codex desktop app
  • App version: 26.623.101652, build 4674
  • Bundled CLI: codex-cli 0.142.5
  • Platform: macOS 15.7.7, build 24G720, arm64
  • Locale/UI language: Simplified Chinese / zh-CN behavior observed in the UI

Steps to reproduce

  1. Open the Codex desktop app.
  2. Use the Simplified Chinese UI / zh-CN locale.
  3. Ask Codex to create a plan so a Plan mode result card is rendered.
  4. Observe the label above the generated plan.

Actual behavior

The card header label displays 套餐.

Expected behavior

The label should display 计划 or remain Plan.

Evidence

The current local desktop session shows the generated plan card header rendered as 套餐 above a Chinese-language plan titled "Surge Tailnet DNS 与路由绕过修改计划". I am not attaching the full screenshot because it includes unrelated conversation content; the relevant visible text is the header label 套餐.

I can confirm that this issue is still reproducible in the Codex desktop app on August 11, 2026 with the Simplified Chinese interface.

After Plan mode generates an implementation plan, the result card header displays 套餐. In Chinese, 套餐 means a subscription/pricing package and is incorrect in this context. The expected translation is 计划 (or the label could remain Plan).

The reproduced UI shows a lightbulb icon followed by the incorrect 套餐 header.

I can still reproduce this on August 12, 2026 in the Codex desktop app with the Simplified Chinese interface.

The mistranslation affects not only the generated Plan card header, but also the Plan-mode composer placeholder. It currently reads:

描述你的任务以生成套餐…

Here, 套餐 means a subscription/pricing package, so it is incorrect in this context. The expected wording is:

描述你的任务以生成计划…

More generally, user-facing Plan strings in this mode should consistently use 计划 (or remain Plan) rather than 套餐.
