Localize VS Code extensions by creating language-specific resource files: add package.nls.LANG.json for configuration strings, locale-specific Markdown files for walkthroughs, and language bundles for in-code messages. This ensures consistent UI text across all target locales and delivers deterministic localization workflows.

Localize package.json fields like settings, commands, menus, and views by creating package.nls.LANG.json files for each target language. VS Code reads these bundles to apply locale-aware configuration strings, enabling users to see extension UI elements in their preferred language.

Yes. Localize walkthrough titles, descriptions, and Markdown content by creating locale-specific Markdown files alongside your extension resources. VS Code automatically serves the correct language variant based on user locale, providing language-specific walkthroughs consistently.

Use structured language-specific string bundles (package.nls.LANG.json) and maintain locale-aware code strings through i18n patterns. This eliminates inconsistencies across languages, ensures UI guarantees are met, and prevents confusing user experiences from incomplete or mismatched translations.

Yes. Create a separate package.nls.LANG.json file for each target language and locale-specific Markdown files for walkthrough content. This modular approach keeps language strings organized, prevents conflicts, and allows independent translation management per locale.

VS Code extension localization requires package.nls.LANG.json files for configuration strings, locale-specific Markdown files for walkthrough content, and language-specific string bundles for source code. Together these formats enable complete i18n coverage across all extension UI surfaces.
