TranslatorX

TranslatorX is a collection of Chinese language packs for JetBrains development tools. JetBrains makes programming environments used widely by professional developers, including IntelliJ IDEA, Android Studio, PyCharm, WebStorm, CLion, GoLand, PhpStorm, Rider, RubyMine, and DataGrip. By default these tools display menus, dialogs, tooltips, and built-in documentation in English. Installing a language pack from this project changes those text labels to Simplified Chinese.

Installation involves placing a .jar file named for the product and version into the lib directory inside the application's installation folder, then restarting the IDE. No renaming, unpacking, or deletion of existing files is required. Removing the jar file restores the English interface at any time. The README notes that each tool's lib directory should already contain a file called resources_en.jar, which helps confirm you are placing the pack in the correct location.

The README is written in Chinese and explains common problems: placing the file in the wrong folder, a corrupted download, or a system language setting that is not set to Chinese (zh_CN). For Android Studio specifically, software updates may delete the language pack automatically, so the file should be backed up or reinstalled after upgrading.

The packs were created by the repository author starting from a goal of learning all keyboard shortcuts in Android Studio. That project expanded into translating the full keymap, then action descriptions, then tooltips, and eventually the entire interface text, covering over 10,000 strings. Each entry was translated by hand rather than using machine translation. The project covers multiple JetBrains products across several release versions, and users can give feedback through GitHub Issues or a linked QQ group.
