Thanks. The whole situation sucks.
I have too many UIs to do it programmatically.
I think the best would be to somehow do multiple releases with Gradle - one normal and one Chinese - https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/2162-string-manipulation/versions/chinese
Then advertise it inside the IDE for people with Zh locale + an action that would add https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugins/list?channel=chinese&pluginId=2162
to plugin repositories.
For now, I made a new release without Chinese.
I see, I totally agree. Thx for the explanation! 👍

The Chinese version has not been updated simultaneously, which is simply too uncomfortable for me with updating obsessive-compulsive disorder

I think contributions are welcome :-)

Yeah, I need to automate it.
I would like to suggest something: for now, the Chinese UI is enabled if the system's locale is set to
zh
.Meanwhile, some Chinese users may want to keep the English UI. Also, other users may want to enable the Chinese UI on non-zh locale (per example, on a corporate computer).
A solution is to detect the official Chinese Language Pack, then load the Chinese resource bundle, and do NOT rely on the system's locale.
A contributor suggested me this feature on another plugin, and this is how I implemented it:
That also means you cannot use the GUI form designer in order to link the labels strings to a resource bundle (double-click on a field, then pick a resource bundle and an i18n key). Instead, you have to set the fields strings manually:
Nota: there is one downside -> you cannot translate IDE settings menu items (in the left panel), because you have to give the resource bundle name in
settings.xml
, so you cannot invoke the code which selects the right resource bundle (there is an open issue for that).
