dsh-locale-be
Belarusian language pack
Belarusian (be) language pack for the DeepSeek Harness web UI.
Чытаць па-беларуску
- 60 namespaces, 2713 UI strings — chat, settings, models, plugins, skills, MCP, sessions, diagnostics, shortcuts.
- Registers the language through the public
ctx.locale API. No host code, network calls, credentials, or telemetry.
- Tested with DSH
0.2.1-rc.2 on Windows 11 and Node.js 22.

DeepSeek Harness settings in Belarusian
The language selector shows Беларуская; the rest of the settings UI is translated too.
Install
Requirements: DSH 0.2.1-rc.2 or newer and pnpm (the dsh plugin command uses it).
dsh plugin --profile web add github:yurashet/dsh-locale-be
dsh web
The bundle inserts the language pack and selects Belarusian by default. If the UI is still in another language, open Settings → General → Language and choose Беларуская.
DSH plugin market
The repository also publishes a format-1 market index:
https://yurashet.github.io/dsh-locale-be/index.json
In DSH, open Plugins → More → Experimental plugins → Custom plugin markets, add that URL as an index source, then install the Belarusian card from Discover. The market lists a commit-pinned Git source.
For a reproducible install, pin a commit:
dsh plugin --profile web add github:yurashet/dsh-locale-be#<40-character-commit-sha>
From a local checkout:
git clone https://github.com/yurashet/dsh-locale-be.git
dsh plugin --profile web add ./dsh-locale-be
Update
dsh plugin --profile web add github:yurashet/dsh-locale-be
dsh web
Re-adding resolves the default branch again. Pin a commit if you want to control exactly which revision runs.
Uninstall
dsh plugin --profile web remove dsh-client-locale-be
dsh web
What is translated
| Area | Examples |
|---|
| Chat and conversations | messages, statuses, buttons, hints, queue handling |
| Settings | general, models, theme, language, permissions, installed plugins |
| Workspace | files, terminal, code/PDF/table/image viewers |
| Agents and teams | subagents, workflows, task queues, run states |
| Skills and MCP | skill catalog, MCP server setup and settings |
| History and diagnostics | sessions, request traces, token usage, errors |
| Shortcuts | slash menu, keyboard shortcuts, hints |
Technical tokens — URLs, protocol names, error codes, and dynamic model labels — intentionally stay in Latin script.
Known limitations
- Some runtime-generated model labels may remain in English until DSH exposes them as locale keys.
- DSH
0.2.x can rewrite cordis.patch.yml when you save Settings → Models. After saving, check that the be-locale insert and locale.preference: be are still present.
- The translation favours clear, everyday Belarusian over literal calques. Terminology suggestions are welcome.
How it works
lib/client.js is a small client plugin:
export const inject = ['locale']
export function apply(ctx) {
ctx.effect(
() => ctx.locale.addLanguage({ id: 'be', label: 'Беларуская', fallback: 'en' }),
'be-locale: language',
)
// ctx.locale.register(namespace, 'be', dictionary) for every namespace
}
cordis.patch.yml inserts the plugin and sets the default preference. The full dictionary lives in translations.be.json; lib/client.js is generated from it.
Development
No dependencies are required.
npm test # validate the dictionary, manifest, patch, and generated bundle
npm run build # regenerate lib/client.js from translations.be.json
npm run build:check
To contribute a translation fix:
- Edit
translations.be.json.
- Keep placeholders such as
{name}, {count}, and {message} unchanged.
- Keep plural keys (
.one, .other) paired.
- Run
npm test.
- Open a pull request.
Security
The plugin is client-only. It registers language definitions and dictionaries through the public locale service and does not read files, make network requests, or access credentials. As with any DSH plugin, install from a trusted source and pin a commit when reproducibility matters.
