The official version of Docker Desktop currently only supports English language interface, but it can be turned into Chinese by following these steps:

  1. To download the language pack: Initially, you will need to download the language pack for Docker Desktop. You can find the relevant language pack on Docker Desktop’s GitHub page (https://github.com/docker/docker.github.io) and select the appropriate one for download.
  2. Install language pack: Unzip the downloaded language pack into the installation directory of Docker Desktop (default location is C:\Program Files\Docker\Docker\resources). Ensure that the folder name of the extracted language pack matches the name of the language pack file (.lng).
  3. Edit the configuration file: Locate the config.json file for Docker Desktop, which can be found in the C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\Docker directory. Use a text editor to open the config.json file and add the following content:
{
  "applicationLocale": "zh-CN"  // 将此处的"zh-CN"替换为所需的语言标识符
}
  1. Restart Docker Desktop: After saving and closing the config.json file, restart the Docker Desktop application. You should see the interface has been translated into Chinese.

Please be aware that localizing Docker Desktop may require continuously updating language packs to adapt to new versions of Docker Desktop. Therefore, when upgrading Docker Desktop, make sure you have access to the appropriate language pack for localization.
