Description

Syntax highlighting should be fixed in other languages(Korean, in this case). If you're unfamiliar with other languages that reproduce these kinds of issues, I'll try to contribute PR with this issue.

Research direction
Investigate the syntax highlighting logic in the repository, likely in files handling TypeScript error messages. Look for language specific formatting or locale handling. The issue mentions Korean, so check if there is a localization file or function that maps error messages to strings. The user suggests they may contribute a PR, but no work has been started yet. Start by examining the source code for any locale related settings or string formatting that could cause the highlighted text to break for non English languages.
