When using Visual Studio Code (VSCode) on an Ubuntu system, you can change the interface language as needed. Here are the detailed steps.

Step 1: Open the Command Palette

1. Launch VSCode.
2. Press Ctrl + Shift + P, or select View > Command Palette… from the top menu to open the Command Palette.

Step 2: Select “Configure Display Language”

1. Type Configure Display Language into the Command Palette and hit Enter.
2. In the pop-up language list, find and select the language you want to switch to, such as Simplified Chinese (zh-CN) or English (en). If you do not find the desired language pack, follow the additional steps below.

Step 3: Restart VSCode

After changing the language, VSCode will prompt you to restart the application. You can also manually close and reopen VSCode to apply the new settings.

Additional Steps: Install Language Packs (if needed)

If you cannot find the desired language, you’ll need to install the corresponding language pack first.

1. Open the Extensions view by pressing Ctrl + Shift + X, or by clicking the Extensions icon in the sidebar.
2. Search for “Language Pack” and install the relevant language pack (for example, “Chinese (Simplified) Language Pack for Visual Studio Code”).
3. Once the installation is complete, go through the above steps again to switch the language.

After completing these steps, VSCode will switch to the interface language you selected.
