vscode-ext-localization
Localize VS Code extensions across configurations, walkthrough content, and source code messages.
- Three localization approaches:
package.nls.LANGID.jsonfor settings, commands, menus, and views; markdown files for walkthrough content;bundle.l10n.LANGID.jsonfor source code strings - Covers all user-facing resources including contributed configurations, commands, menus, views, ViewsWelcome, and walkthrough titles and descriptions
- Requires creating or updating localization files for all supported languages whenever a localizable resource is added or modified
VS Code extension localization
This skill helps you localize every aspect of VS Code extensions
When to use this skill
Use this skill when you need to:
- Localize new or existing contributed configurations (settings), commands, menus, views or walkthroughs
- Localize new or existing messages or other string resources contained in extension source code that are displayed to the end user
Instructions
VS Code localization is composed by three different approaches, depending on the resource that is being localized. When a new localizable resource is created or updated, the corresponding localization for all currently available languages must be created/updated.
- Configurations like Settings, Commands, Menus, Views, ViewsWelcome, Walkthrough Titles and Descriptions, defined in
package.json-> An exclusivepackage.nls.LANGID.jsonfile, likepackage.nls.pt-br.jsonof Brazilian Portuguese (pt-br) localization - Walkthrough content (defined in its own
Markdownfiles) -> An exclusiveMarkdownfile likewalkthrough/someStep.pt-br.mdfor Brazilian Portuguese localization - Messages and string located in extension source code (JavaScript or TypeScript files)
