📋 Overview

This PR adds complete Chinese localization support to Claudia, making the application accessible to Chinese-speaking users while maintaining full compatibility with the original English interface.

✨ Features Added

🔧 Core Infrastructure

  • Complete i18n System: Implemented robust internationalization system with TypeScript support
  • Language Switcher: Real-time language switching component in the top navigation
  • Type Safety: Full TypeScript interfaces for all translation keys
  • Persistent Preferences: Language selection is remembered across sessions

🎯 Localized Components

  • Welcome Page: Main navigation and welcome messages
  • Usage Dashboard: Complete localization including charts, statistics, and filters
  • CC Agents Management: Agent creation, editing, execution, and management interfaces
  • Settings Pages: All four tabs (General, Permissions, Environment, Advanced)
  • Claude Code Session: Interactive session interface with project management
  • Error Handling: Error boundaries and user-facing error messages
  • MCP Management: Server management and configuration interfaces
  • Dialogs & Forms: All confirmation dialogs, forms, and user inputs

📊 Translation Coverage

  • 200+ Translation Items: Comprehensive coverage of all user-facing text
  • Contextual Translations: Proper context-aware translations for technical terms
  • Consistent Terminology: Unified translation of technical concepts across the application

🛠 Technical Implementation

File Structure

src/
├── lib/
│   └── i18n.ts                 # Core i18n system with all translations
├── components/
│   ├── LanguageSwitcher.tsx    # Language switching component
│   └── [All components updated with t() function calls]
└── [Other files with localization support]

Key Technical Decisions

  1. Centralized Translation System: All translations in src/lib/i18n.ts
  2. Function-based API: Simple t('key') function for easy usage
  3. Event-driven Updates: Components automatically re-render on language change
  4. Fallback Support: Graceful fallback to English if translation missing
  5. Build Integration: No impact on build process or bundle size

🧪 Testing

  • ✅ All components render correctly in both languages
  • ✅ Language switching works in real-time
  • ✅ Build process completes successfully
  • ✅ TypeScript compilation passes
  • ✅ No runtime errors or console warnings

📱 User Experience

  • Seamless Switching: Users can switch between Chinese and English instantly
  • Complete Coverage: Every user-facing element is properly localized
  • Consistent UI: Layout and styling remain consistent across languages
  • Accessibility: Maintains all accessibility features in both languages

🔄 Backward Compatibility

  • Zero Breaking Changes: Existing functionality remains unchanged
  • Default English: Application defaults to English for existing users
  • Optional Feature: Chinese localization is opt-in via language switcher

🚀 Future Maintenance

  • Easy Updates: New features can easily add translation keys
  • Modular Design: Translation system can be extended for other languages
  • Clear Documentation: Comprehensive comments and documentation included

📸 Screenshots

Note: Screenshots showing the application in both English and Chinese would be helpful

🎯 Benefits

  1. Accessibility: Makes Claudia accessible to Chinese-speaking developers
  2. User Experience: Native language support improves usability
  3. Community Growth: Expands potential user base
  4. Maintainability: Clean, well-structured implementation
