By integrating this into your Openclaw Skills collection, you can transform the primarily English-based Web Control UI and Chrome extension into a fully localized Chinese interface. This skill focuses on improving user experience and accessibility for developers and researchers who prefer working in their native language while managing AI agents.
This skill automates the translation process by mapping English strings to Chinese equivalents across multiple components, including the dashboard and browser-based tools.
