[FEATURE]: Restore Console localization (new Console is English-only; v1 Console shipped 18 locales) #50299
Description
Feature hasn't been suggested before.
- I have verified this feature I'm about to request hasn't been suggested before.
Describe the enhancement you want to request
TL;DR: the new Console at https://opencode.ai/console/ is English-only, while the Console app in this repo (packages/console/app/src/i18n/*, including zh.ts / zht.ts, 750 keys, last touched 2026-09-18) ships full localization. It looks like localization was dropped during the Console rewrite / v2 migration.
What I observe (no account needed to check):
curl -H "Accept-Language: zh-CN" https://opencode.ai/console/returns<html lang="en">. Sending theoc_locale=zhcookie makes no difference either — the locale is ignored.- The Console bundle (
/console/assets/index-*.js, ~590 KB) and 16 sampled lazy chunks contain zero CJK characters and no i18n/locale code at all (nooc_locale, no language picker). - For comparison,
https://opencode.ai/docs/does localize:Accept-Language: zh-CNreturns<html lang="zh-CN">. So browser language detection works elsewhere; the Console is the one place that ignores it. (The docs also no longer expose the visible language picker the older site had.) - Some strings on the Console page (e.g. "One-time credits", "Manage privacy") don't exist anywhere in this repo, which suggests the new Console is built from a separate codebase.
Request:
- Bring back locale handling for the new Console: browser language detection + the
oc_localecookie + a language picker. - Reuse the translation keys that already exist in this repo (
packages/console/app/src/i18n/) so nothing has to be retranslated from scratch.
Context on when this appeared: the v2 rollout — Console URL change (~2026-08-20, "Updated the default Console URL used by account connection flows"), workspace migration (2026-09-16/17), install links switched to v2 (2026-09-19). Users whose browser is not English (e.g. zh users who had a Chinese Console before) now get an English-only Console.

Additional confirmation as of 2026-09-24, with a couple of pointers that may help:
Still reproducible on today's deployment. The live Console now serves
/console/assets/index-DYyBjoBx.js(593,460 bytes; it wasindex-AYRBkg4c.jswhen I first checked on 2026-09-17 — so new deployments are going out). The new bundle still has:\uXXXX-escaped) — in the main bundle and in 10 sampled lazy chunks (40 are referenced).oc_locale/x-opencode-locale— the cookie/header used by v1'spackages/console/app/src/lib/language.ts.locale: () => "en".packages/console/app/vite.config.tssetsminify: false— i.e. the deployed artifact is not built from the current repo config.Separate-codebase evidence: I sampled 244 distinctive strings from
packages/console/app/src/i18n/en.ts(e.g. "Create New Workspace", "Get started for free") — none of them appear in the deployed main bundle. This matches the observation above that the new Console is served from a different codebase/build.Reuse is possible:
packages/console/app/src/i18n/still ships all 18 locales (en, zh, zht, ko, de, es, fr, it, da, ja, pl, ru, uk, ar, no, br, th, tr) via static imports ini18n/index.ts, andlib/language.tsstill definesLOCALES, theoc_localecookie and thex-opencode-localeheader.zh.tsalone has ~750 keys, so wiring the new Console to these dictionaries would restore most of the v1 coverage without retranslating.Related open work: PRs #50550 and #50204 ("complete Chinese copy in console and stats" / "complete current V2 translation coverage"), plus #50553 and #50554 — might be worth coordinating so the translations land in one place.

Thanks for the detailed write-up, @zcwvwdz! To restate the request: the new Console at opencode.ai/console should support localization again. That means detecting the browser language, honouring the
oc_localecookie and offering a language picker, ideally reusing the existing translations inpackages/console/app/src/i18n/so nothing needs to be retranslated.The existing Console app in this repo does still ship those 18 locales and the
oc_localehandling, while the strings you saw on the new Console page aren't in this repo. That fits your observation that it's built separately. I've passed this on as a feature request so maintainers can consider it.
