Description
In the French interface of the unified ChatGPT/Codex desktop app for macOS, the Plan interaction mode is still displayed as “Forfait”.
This is the same translation error previously reported for the VS Code extension in #33689. That issue was closed as fixed, but the incorrect label remains in the macOS desktop app.
“Plan” appears to have been translated in the sense of a subscription or pricing plan. In this context, “Forfait” is incorrect.
Steps to reproduce
- Use the ChatGPT/Codex desktop app on macOS with the interface language set to French.
- Open Codex.
- Select Plan mode.
- Look at the mode label in the composer.
Actual behavior
The mode label is displayed as:
Forfait
Expected behavior
The mode label should be displayed as:
Plan
Environment
- Product: unified ChatGPT/Codex desktop app
- Operating system: macOS
- Interface language: French
- First noticed: approximately mid-July 2026
- Still reproducible: July 27, 2026
Additional context
A screenshot captured on July 27, 2026 confirms that the composer displays the lightbulb icon followed by “Forfait”.
