[VSCode] Commands no longer work after updating to version 1.0.0

Version 1.0.0 released

Starting with Visual Studio Code 1.0.0, localization for 9 languages ​​including Japanese has been added.

And if the OS language setting is Japanese, VSCode's language setting will also be Japanese. (Checked on Windows 10)

If that happens, you may have a problem. The the commands that should be entered in the command palette are also translated into Japanese .

To give a specific example, the command to install an extension is:

"Extensions: Install Extension" changes to "Extensions: Install Extension".

When I type something like "ext install" it says "No matching commands found".

I don't understand this...

 

So, here's how to change the language settings.

Change language settings from Japanese to English

How to temporarily change the language setting by specifying locale as an argument at startup,

There is a way to permanently change the language setting by writing the locale in locale.json.

Here, we will introduce how to create and edit locale.json.

 

Configure Language

Open the command palette with [Shift + Ctrl + P], enter "language", etc., make the "configure language" command appear, and execute it.

If it is the first time, locale.json is created at this point and "en-US" is set as the initial value of locale. In other words, the setup is complete at this point.

If you want to change to a language other than English, change the locale value to one of the Locales listed on the Display Language

Changes will be reflected the next time you start VSCode. That's all.
