Thanks for the request. Multilingual support is on my roadmap, but I don't currently have a target date for a Chinese version. If more users are interested, I'll prioritize internationalizing the app.

@k-carbonatedtea Thanks for suggesting/working on Chinese localization!

I noticed there is already a fork with localization-related changes, so I tested it locally.

Current local test result:

• dotnet restore ThreadPilot_1.sln: OK
• dotnet build ThreadPilot_1.sln: OK, with StyleCop warnings
• dotnet test ThreadPilot_1.sln: OK, 487/487 tests passed

However, I cannot merge the fork as-is yet because the diff is broader than expected and currently makes zh-CN the default language.

Before opening/merging a PR, could you please adjust the following?

1. Keep en-US as the default language.
2. Load Locales/en-US.xaml by default in App.xaml.
3. Keep zh-CN as an optional language in Settings.
4. Make unsupported, empty, or invalid language codes fall back to en-US.
5. Make missing translation keys fall back to English, or at least return the key, instead of producing empty UI text.
6. Keep the PR focused on localization/notification UX only, avoiding unrelated changes to elevation, system tweaks, affinity, or privileged operations unless strictly required.
7. Add or update tests for:
   • default language;
   • switching between en-US and zh-CN;
   • invalid language fallback;
   • missing translation key fallback;
   • settings language persistence.

Once there is a focused PR, I’ll review it properly.

Thanks again!

Implemented in ThreadPilot v1.3.0.

This release adds localization infrastructure, English and Simplified Chinese resource dictionaries, a language selector in Settings, localized notification support for selected messages, and safe fallback behavior for invalid or missing localization keys.

English remains the default language, and Simplified Chinese is available as an optional display language.

Thanks for the suggestion!
