Docker Desktop CN is a Chinese language localization package for Docker Desktop.
The project addresses the need for a Chinese-language interface for Docker Desktop across multiple platforms. It provides localized versions of the application by distributing modified application files that replace the original English interface with Chinese translations. The approach involves packaging the translated application resources alongside integrity verification files required by Docker Desktop's security checks.
Users should adopt this tool if they prefer to work with Docker Desktop in Chinese. The project supports Windows x86, Windows ARM, macOS with Apple Silicon, macOS with Intel processors, and Debian x86 systems. Localization packages are released alongside each Docker Desktop version and are available through the project's releases page. Starting from version 4.39, packages are distributed directly with Docker Desktop installers. The tool is particularly relevant for Chinese-speaking developers who want a native-language experience with Docker Desktop.
The project maintains active release cycles synchronized with Docker Desktop updates, providing localized packages for each new version across all supported platforms. Development includes ongoing attention to compatibility requirements, such as handling integrity verification mechanisms introduced in Docker Desktop 4.74.0 for Windows and the corresponding macOS verification system, which necessitate replacing multiple files simultaneously rather than individual components.
