[Feature Request] Add Chinese (zh-CN) localization for Edge Tools sidebar UI #4550
Description
Summary
The Edge Tools extension UI (e.g., "Launch Instance", "Generate launch.json", "Documentation") is currently English-only. As a Chinese-speaking developer, I find it challenging to use the tool efficiently without translation.
Why this matters
- VS Code has strong Chinese community support (official Chinese language pack available)
- Edge Tools is widely used for debugging modern web apps
- Many developers in China rely on this extension daily
Proposed solution
Add zh-cn.json under src/i18n/, following VS Code's localization guide. The extension already has i18n infrastructure — only translation strings are missing.
Example translations needed:
| Key | English | Suggested Chinese |
|---|---|---|
launchInstance |
Launch Instance | 启动实例 |
generateLaunchJson |
Generate launch.json | 生成 launch.json |
documentation |
Documentation | 文档 |
reportBug |

I am willing to contribute the full Chinese translation if the team approves this request.
