Switch Languages
Switching Language
This guide provides step-by-step instructions on how to switch between supported languages in the IDE. Currently, the IDE supports English and Japanese.
Prerequisites
By default, the new IDE only supports the English language. To use Japanese, you need to install the Japanese Language Pack extension. This installation is required only once. Once installed, you can switch between English and Japanese as needed.
Japanese Language Extension
When you open a project in the new IDE for the first time, the system will check if the Japanese Language Pack is installed. If it is not installed, the system will attempt to install it automatically, as shown in the screenshot below.
You can view the installation logs under the Terminal tab.
If the installation is successful, a pop-up dialog will appear in the bottom-right corner. Click "Change Language and Restart" to reload the IDE and apply the Japanese language setting.
Note:
For Free Plan users, the Japanese Language Pack will be installed every time the IDE is opened.
For Paid Plan users, the extension is installed once and stored in the user’s home directory.
Manual Installation
If the automatic installation fails, follow these steps to install the Japanese Language Pack manually:
Open the Extensions View
Click the Extensions icon on the Activity Bar.
A list of installed extensions will be displayed. By default, you should see Monaca Extension listed.
Search for the Japanese Language Extension
If the Japanese Language Pack is not listed, use the search bar and type: Japanese Language Pack for Visual Studio Code.
Install the Extension
Click the Install button to install the extension.
Once installed (either manually or automatically), the Japanese Language Pack will appear under the installed extensions list.
The extension’s detail page will display an Uninstall button, indicating that the installation was successful.
