SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Localization of VS Code extensions often misses settings, commands, menus, and user-facing messages, leading to inconsistent user experiences across languages. This skill provides structured guidelines to ensure comprehensive localization across configurations, walkthrough content, and code strings.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Comprehensive localization paths for configurations (package.json keys), walkthrough content, and code messages.
  • Guidelines for creating and maintaining package.nls.* files, Markdown localizations, and bundle.l10n.*.
  • Use Case: Apply these guidelines to a sample extension to verify complete multilingual support.

Quick Start

  1. Audit an extension's localizable resources (package.json, walkthrough Markdown, and code strings).
  2. Create or update the relevant localization files for target languages (package.nls., Markdown localizations, and bundle.l10n.).
  3. Validate localized resources in a sample extension to ensure proper display and behavior.
