Claude Desktop Chinese Patch (macOS & Windows)
Overview
A Chinese interface localization patch for Claude Desktop, supporting Chinese Simplified, Traditional Chinese (Taiwan), and Traditional Chinese (Hong Kong). On macOS, you can double-click install-mac.command, and on Windows you can right-click the administrator to run the install-windows.bat to add Chinese language options to Claude Desktop and install Chinese interface resources. This localization solution supports API and official subscriptions. For third-party APIs, please refer to https://linux.do/t/topic/2032192 for configuration. - One-click installation of Claude Desktop Chinese interface resources, supports macOS and Windows. - Supports three Chinese variants: zh-CN (Chinese Simplified), zh-TW (Traditional Chinese (Taiwan)), and zh-HK (Traditional Chinese (Hong Kong). - Automatically adds the currently selected Chinese variant to the Claude frontend language whitelist. - Changes app.asar installation mode to perform display layer DOM translation on claude.ai pages after online account login; This logic only changes interface text and language status, not third-party APIs, gateways, model routing, or request content. - macOS automatically merges the current Claude version English language files with the included Chinese translation. - New but untranslated fields retain English to avoid missing text in the interface. - macOS can bypass the new Claude Desktop's local Anthropic validation for 3P gateway model names, avoiding the entire configuration failure caused by model names like deepseek-v4-pro / kimi-*. - Windows installation scripts will directly back up and modify the current Claude Desktop resource files; restore from the backup when uninstalling. Note: After modifying app.asar, you need to synchronously rewrite the Claude.exe inline integrity hash, which will corrupt the Authenticode signature; The Cowork sandbox/screenshot workspace requires signature verification. It is recommended to select Windows Mode 1 when Coworking is needed, and perform model alias mapping in the gateway or ccswitch. - Automatically back up the original /Applications/Claude.app before macOS installation. - Automatically write Claude user configurations and set the language to the selected Chinese variant.

zh-CN(Chinese Simplified),zh-TW(Traditional Chinese (Taiwan)),zh-HK(Traditional Chinese (Hong Kong)). - Automatically adds the currently selected Chinese variant to the Claude frontend language whitelist.

- macOS and Linux merge the current Claude version’s English language files with the included Chinese translation; Fields added in the new version but not yet translated retain English to avoid missing text in the interface.
- Windows installation scripts back up and modify the current Claude Desktop resource file, and restore from the backup when uninstalling; Do not overwrite the integrity hash of
app.asarorClaude.exe, the application signature remains valid, and the Cowork sandbox remains unaffected. - Linux installation scripts will back up and modify the resource files and ‘app’ in the deb package installation directory.
