Codex App zh-CN localization: duplicated reasoning label and untranslated menu items

What version of the Codex App are you using (From “About Codex” dialog)?

Observed with Codex CLI/App bits around codex-cli 0.144.1. The issue has also been present in previous recent versions.

What subscription do you have?

Pro

What platform is your computer?

Linux 7.0.0-27-generic x86_64 unknown

What issue are you seeing?

The Simplified Chinese localization in the Codex desktop app has two UI problems:

1. Reasoning effort / 推理强度 menu has duplicated and incorrect Chinese labels.

In the reasoning effort dropdown, the labels are shown roughly as:

• 轻度
• 中
• 高
• 极高
• 最高
• 极高 with helper text 更快消耗使用额度

There are two entries labeled 极高. The final 极高 entry appears to be a different level, but it is translated the same as another option. The helper text 更快消耗使用额度 also looks like awkward/incorrect copy for this setting.

1. The app menu dropdowns are not localized.

The top-level menu labels are translated, e.g. 文件, 编辑, 视图, 帮助, but the dropdown items under 文件 remain English:

• New Window
• New Task
• New Projectless Task
• Open Folder...
• Close
• Settings...
• Log Out
• Exit

The menu has been like this for a while; only the top-level labels are translated, not the actual menu actions.

What steps can reproduce the bug?

1. Start the Codex desktop app with the UI language set to Simplified Chinese.
2. Open the model/reasoning settings dropdown.
3. Check the 推理强度 options.
4. Open the application menu bar, for example 文件.
5. Check the dropdown menu item labels.

What is the expected behavior?

• Each reasoning effort level should have a unique and accurate Simplified Chinese label.
• The duplicated 极高 entries should be disambiguated according to the actual underlying levels.
• The helper text under the highest/most expensive reasoning option should be reviewed and translated naturally.
• App menu dropdown items should be localized consistently, for example New Window, New Task, Open Folder..., Settings..., Log Out, and Exit should have Simplified Chinese translations.

Additional information

I searched open issues for similar Chinese localization reports before filing this and did not find an obvious duplicate.

Screenshots show:

• The 推理强度 dropdown with duplicated 极高 entries and the helper text 更快消耗使用额度.
• The 文件 menu where the top-level label is localized but dropdown actions remain English.
