What feature would you like to see?
Russian localization of the Kimi desktop app interface (menus, buttons, settings, dialogs).
What I checked (Kimi desktop, Windows, current version):
- There is no language/locale selector anywhere in Settings, and the app config (
%APPDATA%\kimi-desktop\daimon-share\daimon\config.json) contains no language option.
- The app bundle (
resources/app.asar) contains no i18n resource files — UI strings appear to be hardcoded, with no localization framework in place. The only language-related entries inside the bundle are Monaco editor's syntax modules, and the locales/*.pak files (including ru.pak) are Chromium's built-in locales, not app UI strings.
Request:
- Introduce an i18n framework (e.g. i18next / react-intl) and extract UI strings into locale resource files.
- Add Russian (
ru-RU) as a supported UI language.
- Add a language selector in Settings, with "follow system" as the default.
Why it matters:
- Russian is spoken by ~250 million people and is a top-10 language by number of Internet users.
- The Kimi agent itself already converses fluently in Russian — the UI is the only untranslated layer.
- Once string extraction is done, the community can help with translation. I'd be glad to contribute as a translator/proofreader.
Additional information
Happy to provide version info or screenshots of the current UI if helpful. If the desktop app lives in a different tracker, please point me to the right place — thank you!
