About this extension
GitHub Chinese translates the GitHub interface into Simplified or Traditional Chinese. Translation happens locally in your browser.
Only the interface is translated. User content (READMEs, comments, code, commit messages, repository names, usernames) stays as written.
TRANSLATION
• Simplified and Traditional Chinese dictionaries with over 30,000 entries each, scoped by page type (repositories, issues, pull requests, Actions, settings and more)
• Traditional Chinese is translated from English using Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macau usage, not converted from Simplified Chinese
• Translates as you navigate and as content loads, including tooltips, placeholders and tab titles
• Localized times: "3 天前", "2026 年 10 月 26 日", or a custom format such as YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm
• Works on github.com, gist.github.com, www.githubstatus.com, and GitHub Enterprise Server or GHE.com sites you enable
DOWNLOAD ACCELERATION (off by default)
• Lists accelerated download and clone URLs in the Code menu, next to the Raw button and under release assets, leaving the original links unchanged; can optionally replace the original links
• 9 built-in acceleration sources grouped by provider; add your own, test their speed, and turn on failover to use the fastest one available
• Reloads avatars and images that fail to load through an acceleration source
SEARCH FILTER
• Hides search results by owner, repository or keyword
• Built-in block list of 454 spam and promotion accounts, which you can turn off
EXTRAS
• Auto load: clicks "Load more" for you and appends the next page of paginated lists as you scroll to the bottom
• Image preview: click an image in content or on a file page to zoom, pan and browse within the page, open the original or download it
• Open in new tab: opens external links, links in content, and links on pages such as search results, issues and notifications in a new tab; each scope can be turned on or off
• Download folder: downloads any directory of a repository as a ZIP file
SETTINGS
• Excluded paths and a custom dictionary; browse the built-in dictionary
• Back up and restore all settings
• Extension interface in Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese or English; system, light and dark themes
PRIVACY
Translation and search filtering happen locally, and no data is sent to the developer. When acceleration is on, only the download links and clone URLs you open or copy through it, the folders you download through it, and the URLs of images that fail to load are sent to the third-party acceleration source you choose.
