The interface keeps switching to English

[neko0104]

Type: Bug

I changed the user interface of Visual Studio Code to Traditional Chinese (zh-tw), but after that, Visual Studio Code asked me to restart and install packages again, which I did. However, when I open Visual Studio Code again or open a new window, the language switches back to English. Even when I switch to Traditional Chinese (zh-tw) again, there is no response. What's even more puzzling is that the language switcher keeps suggesting Simplified Chinese (zh-cn) as an option, but I never use Simplified Chinese. This issue has caused me a lot of trouble.
