Idea: Official Turkish (tr) UI language for DeepSeek Harness

[mkfeyman]

Hi DSH team,

Following the contribution guide (external PRs are not accepted at the moment), I'd like to share a completed Turkish (tr) localization as an idea for an official language option.

What it is

• A normal external client plugin built on the documented locale API (ctx.locale.addLanguage + ctx.locale.register). It is served through /plugins; no app.asar changes and no rebuild.
• Registers tr with an en fallback. It appears in Settings → General → Language → Türkçe, the choice persists as locale.preference in cordis.patch.yml, <html lang> follows the active locale, and switching English/Turkish works both ways without a reload.
• 64 namespaces / 2,910 strings — 100% of the English UI copy shipped in DSH 0.2.1-rc.3. Every {placeholder}, Markdown fragment, separator string and punctuation mark was validated against the English source (0 mismatches).
• Source version: 0.2.1-rc.3 (commit be72761).

Source data (MIT)

Full dictionary data and the generated bundle are in this gist:
https://gist.github.com/mkfeyman/72fd999a1137244fb029c5405cd5a601

• deepseek-harness-tr-locales.json — namespace → key → Turkish text
• dsh-turkish-locale-client.js — the generated window.__ModuleLoader__.load bundle
• dsh-turkish-locale-package.json — package manifest (dsh.client.platform: "web")

I verified the pack live in the desktop build: the UI switches to Turkish, the language row shows Türkçe, and the selection survives restarts. Screenshots can be provided if useful.

Request

• Would you consider shipping Turkish as an official (or optional) language in a future release?
• If so, I can reshape the dictionaries into whatever layout you prefer: fold tr into the built-in en/zh locale sources, publish it as an optional official bundle, or hand over the locale data as-is.
• If plugins are preferred for now, I'm happy to follow the ecosystem path (dsh-plugin topic) instead.

Thanks for building DSH — the plugin/locale architecture made this possible without touching the application itself.

Update: the language pack is now published as a public repository with the dsh-plugin topic:

https://github.com/mkfeyman/dsh-turkish-locale

It contains the installable client bundle, the full locales/tr.json dictionary data, install steps in the README, and screenshots (Turkish home screen and Settings → General with Dil: Türkçe). The repository links back to this discussion.

If a different package layout or a locale-source contribution would be preferable, I'm happy to reshape it.

Release update: the language pack is now published as an installable DSH bundle and listed in a plugin market index (format 1, validated with @deepseek-ai/dsh-plugin-market-index):

• v1.0.0 release: https://github.com/mkfeyman/dsh-turkish-locale/releases/tag/v1.0.0
• Market index: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mkfeyman/dsh-turkish-locale/main/market-index.json

Adding that index under Plugins → More → Discover lists the pack ("Türkçe dil paketi", category "Dil paketleri") with a one-click install. The installer pins git+https://github.com/mkfeyman/dsh-turkish-locale.git#<commit> and declares engines.dsh: ">=0.2.1-rc.3 <0.3.0", so end users can install it without touching the application.

The dictionaries and the repository remain MIT-licensed and available for official inclusion in any layout you prefer.
