The Quick Fix feature in our devchat tool currently only provides outputs in English, which limits its accessibility to users who are more comfortable with other languages. A significant portion of our user base includes non-English speakers, and providing bilingual support, specifically including Chinese, would greatly enhance the usability of the Quick Fix feature for them.
Objective:
We aim to update the VSCode plugin to support bilingual Quick Fix outputs. This means when a user employs the Quick Fix feature, the suggestions should be displayed in the user's preferred language, enhancing the tool's convenience and accessibility.
Tasks:
Integrate a language detection system within the VSCode plugin to automatically detect the user's preferred language or allow users to manually set their language preference.
Ensure that the Quick Fix suggestions are accurately translated into the supported languages, starting with English and Chinese.
Test the bilingual functionality thoroughly to prevent any inaccuracies or bugs that could lead to misunderstandings of the Quick Fix suggestions.
Challenges:
Implementing an effective and efficient language detection system.
Ensuring the accuracy of translations, given the technical nature of Quick Fix suggestions.
This update will require close collaboration between developers, language experts, and possibly external translation services to ensure the translations are accurate and appropriate for the technical context. Feedback from users who speak different languages will also be invaluable in this process.
By accomplishing this, we can make our devchat tool more inclusive and helpful for a broader audience, ultimately enhancing user satisfaction and engagement. This change aligns with our ongoing efforts to improve accessibility and usability for all users, regardless of their primary language.
