Extension needs to follow vscode language

[AdrianoCahete]

I read here that the localization is automated, It's ok, but the problem is that the automated process generates a lot of non-sense texts.
I'll try to update my language file, but I really like to use all my IDE's with everything in English, even with my OS in Portuguese. I know a lot of people who like this.

To be honest, is better to keep the english text than with the automated translation.
Is way harder with that translation that to read the original text in english.

The automated translation has "wise remarks" like:

• "Gist" translated to something like "Essence"
• "Force Download" to "Download's Force"
• "Download Public Gist" to "Download Public Essence"

And a lot of other mistakes.

Settings Sync language is configured via VS Code localization.

If you change the locale.json locale value as en, it will use English language for Settings Sync. Let me know if it helped.

You can send me a PR improving the values for keys in your language that will improve language for your region.

My VSCode install was already in english, but the locale trick works well. I followed this help.

But still thinks that we need a easily way to change this, from extensions settings.

Extension should always be aligned to VS Code settings, i wont suggest each extension behave own way to change the settings.

I'm keeping this issue open for some time to see other users response.

Your OS is non-english but your code was on english language. Settings Sync should show english language by default.

are you using the latest version of Settings Sync ? (v3.4.1)

Yes, I made a install on new work's laptop and choose to start a new profile to sync from zero.

For some reason, my Code was set to the "en" locale, yet, the extension needed it to be set again and restart Code.

It's a good idea to match the extension language with the editor's. When the localization is an automatic Google translated text, however, there should be an opt-out setting.

I'd be happy to help create a good translation for the "hu" locale, if you're interested.

@AlbertPrograms
Feel free to send me PR, i'm always looking to add/improve languages. I'm currently only managing "en" locale. Its the community who is improving the other languages :)

Yes, the extension should follow VS Code language. But if there is no translation for that language, the automated translation MUST be optional.
