How It Works
This extension reads and writes to ~/.claude/settings.json, the configuration file used by Claude Code CLI. Changes take effect immediately for new Claude Code sessions.
Switching Plugin Language
This plugin automatically follows VS Code's language settings - no separate configuration needed.
How to change VS Code language:
Method 1: Via Command Palette
- Press
Cmd+Shift+P (Mac) or Ctrl+Shift+P (Windows/Linux)
- Type "Configure Display Language"
- Select target language (e.g., "English" or "中文(简体)")
- Restart VS Code
Method 2: Via settings.json
{
"locale": "en" // English
// or
"locale": "zh-cn" // Chinese
}
After changing, restart VS Code and the plugin interface will automatically switch to the corresponding language.
