1. Introduction
Visual Studio Code (VS Code) is a popular open-source code editor that is widely used for software development. It is available in multiple languages, including English and Chinese. If you prefer using VS Code in English instead of Chinese, this article will provide a step-by-step guide on how to change the language settings.
2. Launch VS Code
The first step is to launch VS Code. Once it is launched, click on the gear icon in the lower left corner of the window. This will open the Settings menu.
3. Open Settings
3.1. User Settings
There are two types of settings in VS Code: user settings and workspace settings. User settings apply to the entire application, while workspace settings apply only to a specific project or folder. To change the language settings, we will be modifying the user settings.
To access the user settings, click on "Settings" in the drop-down menu. This will open the default settings for the application.
{
// Application language
"locale": "zh-cn",
}
3.2. Edit User Settings
To edit the user settings, click on the "Edit in settings.json" link in the upper right corner of the window. This will open the settings.json file, where you can modify the language settings.
To change the language to English, change the value of the "locale" property to "en".
{
// Application language
"locale": "en",
}
Save the changes to the file by pressing Ctrl+S (Windows/Linux) or Command+S (macOS).
4. Restart VS Code
After you have modified the user settings, you will need to restart VS Code for the changes to take effect. Close the application and relaunch it to see the new language settings.
5. Conclusion
