How to Install and Use the Official Chinese Language Pack for IntelliJ IDEA

IntelliJ IDEA 2020 originally did not support Chinese; thanks to a Czech engineer (possibly of Chinese origin) for providing this "care" to Chinese programmers, reflecting the growing international influence of China's IT industry.

Last year JetBrains localized its website into eight languages, and the team is now localizing IntelliJ‑based IDEs for the Asian market, starting with preliminary Simplified Chinese support, followed by Korean and Japanese. Translation can also be offered via plugins, allowing the community to contribute other languages.

Now the officially supported Chinese interface is available, alongside Korean and Japanese, but many users still prefer a Chinese UI. Below is an introduction to how IntelliJ IDEA is localized.

Using the Official IDEA Chinese Plugin

You need to download the "Chinese (Simplified) Language Pack" plugin provided by JetBrains.

Specific Steps

1. Press Ctrl+Alt+S to open the Settings window. 2. Select Plugins . 3. In the search box type "chinese" and choose the Chinese (Simplified) Language plugin to download. 4. Restart the IDE.

Result After Localization

Some parts are not fully translated, but the majority is satisfactory. Veteran programmers may consider the Chinese‑localized IDEA "low", yet it is clearly very friendly for beginners.

IntelliJ IDEA becomes increasingly useful; after localization, even rarely used features become easier to discover.
