Proposal: Add Japanese localization for the macOS client

[kokubee]

The current macOS client is difficult for Japanese users because the UI is mainly in Simplified Chinese. I would like to contribute Japanese localization, starting with the device setup, voice input, Agent, and settings screens.

Would you prefer String Catalogs, Localizable.strings, or another localization approach?

Firstly, thank you for your feedback!

And, to be honest, our team currently have no spare time to complete i18n, so we can only focusing on English and Simplified Chinese.

In future version, we will actively promote multilingual support. (Maybe in next version? XD)

Thanks for the honest reply. I understand the team's bandwidth constraints.

Before full multilingual support, an English UI would already be a major improvement for international users, including Japanese users. The current Chinese UI makes setup and troubleshooting difficult.

If possible, please prioritize an English language option for the AhaKey Studio macOS client in an upcoming release. I would be happy to test it on macOS and provide feedback.

We get it! And we decide to priorize i18n in next version!

[kokubee]

That's great news—thank you for prioritizing i18n in the next version!

I would be happy to test the English and Japanese UI on macOS and report any issues. Please let me know when an early build or localization template is available.

Of course!
And also thank you for your support on our product!

Hi, @kokubee,

The next version is in repo AhaKey Studio. We refactor the whole code and decide to improve on this repo in future. I add i18n configure in the repo, so could you please check it again and add Japanese localization?
