- The localeOverride = "zh-CN" setting in config.toml is stored but the interface still renders in English
- Settings → Usage & billing pages mix English strings (Usage, Overview, Plan limits, Trusted contact, chart dates) into zh-CN, zh-TW and ko-KR interfaces on Windows and macOS
Not included
- Wrong quota, credit or billing figures on the Usage & billing page
