🌍 Call for Translations: Help localize OpenClaw Tray

[shanselman]

We need your help translating OpenClaw Tray!

OpenClaw Tray now has full localization infrastructure using WinUI .resw\ resource files. Adding a new language requires zero code changes — just translate a single resource file and submit a PR.

Currently supported

• 🇺🇸 English (en-US) — complete (163 strings)
• 🇨🇳 Chinese Simplified (zh-CN) — complete (163 strings)

Languages we'd love to add

• 🇩🇪 German (de-DE)
• 🇫🇷 French (fr-FR)
• 🇯🇵 Japanese (ja-JP)
• 🇰🇷 Korean (ko-KR)
• 🇧🇷 Portuguese (pt-BR)
• 🇪🇸 Spanish (es-ES)
• 🇮🇹 Italian (it-IT)
• 🇷🇺 Russian (ru-RU)
• ...and any other language!

How to contribute

1. Read [\docs/LOCALIZATION.md](docs/LOCALIZATION.md) for the full guide
2. Copy \src/OpenClaw.Tray.WinUI/Strings/en-us/Resources.resw\
3. Create \src/OpenClaw.Tray.WinUI/Strings//Resources.resw\
4. Translate all 163 <value>\ elements (keep the
   ame\ attributes and {0}\ placeholders intact)
5. Open a PR — that's it!

What kind of strings?

Settings labels, menu items, toast notifications, error messages, status text, dialog buttons, and window titles. About 20 minutes of work for a fluent speaker.

This is a great good first issue for anyone who wants to contribute! 🎉

@Kobe9312 — your original Chinese translation work in PR #30 was the catalyst for building this entire localization infrastructure. 🙏

The zh-CN translations are now live in proper .resw\ resource files (163 strings), and the app automatically switches to Chinese on Chinese Windows installations. Your translations were used as the basis for the resource file.

If you'd like to review or improve any of the translations, the file is at:
\src/OpenClaw.Tray.WinUI/Strings/zh-cn/Resources.resw\

See docs/LOCALIZATION.md for the contributor guide. Thank you for getting this started!

@shanselman I really appreciate your kind words! To be honest, I’m not very familiar with these technical details, and AI helped me finish most of the work, including this reply. And I can’t stand those 21 letters—you know, the ones left after ET left in a UFO. Thanks again!

Great news for anyone watching this issue — two community translation PRs are currently open for review:

• PR feat: complete french localization #69 — 🇫🇷 French (fr-FR) by @rundredoffi — 163 keys, structurally complete
• PR add zh_tw #100 — 🇹🇼 Traditional Chinese (zh-TW) by @Tim0320 — community-contributed

Once these land, the app will support 4 locales. If you're a fluent speaker of any of the other listed languages (de-DE, ja-JP, ko-KR, pt-BR, es-ES, it-IT, ru-RU), now is a great time to contribute — the infrastructure is proven and the guide in docs/LOCALIZATION.md makes it straightforward. About 20 minutes of work for a fluent speaker!
