Description

We have lots of Chinese developers. It would be great if we can provide a localized interface. This issue is to track the effort of building the localization story. Supporting Chinese is a start. Once the solution is working, we can expand the support to other languages.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate VS Code's built in localization support and how other extensions implement language packs. Explore the use of i18next or similar libraries. Look at how the current extension handles strings.
