i18n: Improve zh-CN localization & fix Simplified Chinese label glyph by Xiaocaihassome · Pull Request #726 · webadderallorg/Recordly

Xiaocaihassome · 2026-07-05T13:39:53Z

While using Recordly on Windows, I found multiple flawed points in Simplified Chinese localization.
The language dropdown uses wrong Traditional glyph "簡體中文" instead of standard Simplified writing, fixed in MorePopover.tsx and SettingsPanel.tsx.
Many UI areas lack complete zh-CN localized text and fall back to raw English, including click effect configs, zoom blur parameters, caption editor buttons, preset & theme panels, project brow
ser, unsaved changes pop-up and timeline toolbar.
I refined zh-CN locale entries inside settings.json, editor.json and shortcuts.json, and added matching base English keys to support further language expansion.
Full local test finished on Windows 11. UI screenshots and code diffs are attached below.

Summary by CodeRabbit

Localization / UI Text Updates
- Added and expanded translated labels across the editor and settings, including projects, export status (success + “show in folder”), timeline controls, presets, theme selection, and unsaved-changes prompts.
- Enhanced Chinese settings text for motion/visual effects, cursor click effects presets, improved captions editor labels/actions, and additional background/video upload messaging.
- Updated Simplified Chinese language naming and localized the “Frame” header in the settings UI.
New Features
- Added fixed shortcut/label mappings for annotation cycling, delete selected, pan, and zoom.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

This PR updates zh-CN label text in two components and expands editor, shortcuts, and settings locale strings in English and zh-CN.

Changes

Locale label and translation expansion

Layer / File(s)	Summary
zh-CN label updates `src/components/launch/popovers/MorePopover.tsx`, `src/components/video-editor/SettingsPanel.tsx`	`LOCALE_LABELS` and `APP_LANGUAGE_LABELS` switch zh-CN text to simplified Chinese, and the Frame section header uses a settings translation fallback.
Editor locale expansion `src/i18n/locales/en/editor.json`, `src/i18n/locales/zh-CN/editor.json`	Editor locale files add project, export status, timeline, recordings folder, presets, theme, unsaved-changes, and common strings, with a boundary adjustment in the annotations block.
Shortcuts fixed labels `src/i18n/locales/en/shortcuts.json`, `src/i18n/locales/zh-CN/shortcuts.json`	Shortcuts locale files add a top-level `fixed` section for cycle annotation, delete, and pan/zoom labels.
zh-CN settings locale expansion `src/i18n/locales/zh-CN/settings.json`	Settings locale adds effect and padding controls, captions editor labels, background upload text, and settings section navigation labels.

- Line 2517: The frame label JSX in SettingsPanel is missing the closing brace
for the tSettings call, making the span invalid. Update the label expression in
the frame section so the translation function call is properly closed before the
closing span tag, and verify the surrounding JSX in SettingsPanel renders
cleanly.

This PR is a fully manual Simplified Chinese localization improvement for Recordly, not auto-generated AI spam.
I found incomplete zh-CN UI texts and wrong Traditional Chinese glyph on language dropdown when using the software on Windows, then manually sorted all unlocalized entries one by one.
I edited settings.json, editor.json, shortcuts.json and two TSX component files line by line to add missing translation keys and fix hard-coded Chinese characters. Paid translation AI was only used for auxiliary proofreading; every line of text was manually adjusted to fit the software UI context.
The previous branch was discarded because translation content failed to submit completely, this PR is a brand-new rewrite with fresh code changes and newly captured screenshots.
Full local verification finished on Windows 11. All code diff screenshots and UI preview screenshots are attached in PR description for manual review.
This is legitimate open-source feature optimization work, please remove the Anti-Slop flag after manual inspection.
Closes #725
