I think that was meant for Tom, I barely said anything, but thank you on his behalf and good luck with your translation project! We’re excited to see it. — Zach

A very cursory googling for ‘PyQt multilanguage’ brings up this repo: https://github.com/yjg30737/pyqt-multi-language-example but it is for PyQt5.
Feel free to fork the ChimeraX repository and make pull requests. We would be eager to learn how to do this and turn it into a community-driven project.

Hi Junhua,
That would be great to add some Chinese language support in ChimeraX. We haven't looked into supporting languages other than English, but there are many Chinese speaking ChimeraX users. ChimeraX uses the Qt window toolkit which has "internationalization" support. Specifically ChimeraX uses the Python interface to Qt, called PyQt. If you figured out how to customize the ChimeraX GUI text we'd be interested in including that in ChimeraX. Your ChiimeraX distribution includes all the Python code which creates the user interface, so you could experiment with just changing the Python code in your distribution. The ChimeraX code is also on Github here
https://github.com/RBVI/ChimeraX
Here is the place in the code where the top level File, Edit, Select, Actions, Tools, ... menus are created.
https://github.com/RBVI/ChimeraX/blob/1f1a0512d53424163992b53eadeffd2d9e39d4...
I guess the individual menu entries are added in many places in the code. For instance the File / Open... entry is here
https://github.com/RBVI/ChimeraX/blob/1f1a0512d53424163992b53eadeffd2d9e39d4...
and it uses the add_menu_entry() function which probably is used to add all the menu entries
https://github.com/RBVI/ChimeraX/blob/1f1a0512d53424163992b53eadeffd2d9e39d4...
Let us know what you figure out.
Tom

Dear UCSF ChimeraX Developers, I hope this email finds you well. Firstly, I would like to express my sincere gratitude for developing such a powerful and versatile software as UCSF ChimeraX. It has been an invaluable tool for my research and visualization needs. I have a question regarding the translation of the GUI interface language. I am interested in translating the interface into another language. Since I noticed that UCSF ChimeraX is based on Python, I was wondering if it is possible to modify certain .json, .py, or .xml files to change the displayed language. My intention is purely for personal use, and I have no plans to distribute or profit from any modifications. Could you please provide any guidance or resources on how to achieve this? Any pointers or documentation would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much for your time and consideration. Best regards!
