Summary

We've received multiple requests and PRs for internationalization (i18n) and localization support. We appreciate the community's interest in making OpenClaw accessible to more users worldwide!

However, we don't currently have the bandwidth to properly support multiple languages.

Why we're consolidating this

• Maintaining translations requires ongoing effort as the product evolves
• We need to establish a proper i18n architecture first
• Quality translations need review by native speakers
• Documentation, error messages, and UI all need coordinated translation

What this means

• New PRs adding translations will be closed and pointed to this issue
• Issues requesting specific languages will be closed as duplicates of this one
• When we're ready, we'll announce the i18n initiative here

Languages requested (tracking)

• Chinese (Simplified) - zh-CN
• Chinese (Traditional) - zh-TW
• Portuguese (Brazilian) - pt-BR
• Korean - ko
• Japanese - ja
• Spanish - es
• French - fr
• German - de
• Vietnamese - vi
• Filipino - fi

Timeline

No ETA yet. We'll update this issue when we're ready to start accepting i18n contributions.

This is the canonical issue for all i18n/localization requests. Thank you for your patience!
