Setting Cursor to Chinese/Other Languages

Overview

Cursor is developed by a foreign team, so its default language is English. This might be inconvenient for Chinese users, but it can be set to Chinese. This tutorial will show you how to change the language to Chinese.

Opening the Plugin Platform

Cursor editor allows you to install various plugins to improve efficiency.

We will recommend some very useful free plugins in the future.

You can ignore this part.

Installing a Plugin

Search for "Chinese" and you will find many plugins. Mainland China users can choose Simplified Chinese, while users from Taiwan and Hong Kong can choose Traditional Chinese.

Click to install. Since I have already installed it, it shows "Uninstall" instead.

Usage

Press "Ctrl+Shift+P" to open the "Command Palette," then type "display" to filter and display the "Configure Display Language" command.

Then select Chinese.

Uninstalling

Go to the Installed Tab, click the plugin, and you will see the uninstall button on the right side. Click to uninstall, and after restarting the cursor interface, it will return to English.
