Enabling the Chinese Localization Plugin
Currently, this feature is available only in the Chinese mainland.
- Since DevEco Studio 6.0.0 Beta1, the Chinese localization plugin is enabled by default. To switch the UI language to Chinese, go to File > Settings... (DevEco Studio > Preferences/Settings on macOS) > Appearance & Behavior > System Settings > Language, select Chinese, and click Apply. In the displayed dialog box, click Restart to complete the language switch. If the Chinese language option is not available during selection, enable the Chinese localization plugin by following the steps for earlier versions, and then select it.
In DevEco Studio 6.1.0 Beta1 and later versions, Chinese has been changed to Chinese(Simplified) (simplified Chinese).
- For versions earlier than DevEco Studio 6.0.0 Beta1, go to File > Settings (DevEco Studio > Preferences/Settings on macOS) > Plugins via the menu bar, select the Installed tab, and enter Chinese in the search box. The result Chinese(Simplified) will appear. Click Enable on the right, then click OK. In the displayed dialog box, click Restart. The plugin will take effect after DevEco Studio restarts.
