You can also override the default UI language by explicitly setting the VS Code display language using the Configure Display Language command. If you want to add programming language support, for example for C++ or Java, refer to the Programming Languages section of the documentation. Note: This topic explains how to change the display language in the VS Code UI via Language Packs such as French or Chinese. Below is an example recommending a Simplified Chinese Language Pack:Īfter installing the Language Pack extension and following the prompt to restart, VS Code will use the Language Pack matching your operating system's UI language. VS Code detects the operating system's UI language and will prompt you to install the appropriate Language Pack, if available on the Marketplace. Visual Studio Code ships by default with English as the display language and other languages rely on Language Pack extensions available from the Marketplace. Configure IntelliSense for cross-compiling.
