Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
CodeBurn is a great local tool for tracking AI coding token usage, but the UI (CLI output and the local dashboard) is hardcoded in English only. It is quite popular among Chinese developers, and a localized version would make it much more accessible to them.
Describe the solution you would like
Add internationalization support:
- Extract user-facing strings from
src/ and dash/src/ into resource files
- Support a
--lang / config option (e.g. LANG env or codeburn config set lang zh-CN)
- Ship at least
en and zh-CN (Simplified Chinese) locales
- Apply to both the CLI/Ink UI and the web dashboard
Describe alternatives you have considered
- A third-party translation patch fork (fragile, hard to maintain)
- Keeping it English-only (fine, but limits adoption)
Additional context
- The codebase currently has no i18n library (no i18next / react-i18next in dependencies)
- Happy to help with implementation / PR review if the maintainers are open to it
I am happy to submit a PR if the direction is agreed. Thanks for the great tool!
