dsh-turkish-locale
Turkish (Türkçe) language pack for the DeepSeek Harness
Web UI. A community plugin built on the documented client-plugin locale API —
no changes to the packaged application, no rebuild.
Turkish home screen
What it does
- Registers
tr with an en fallback through ctx.locale.addLanguage and
ctx.locale.register.
- Translates 73 namespaces / 3,838 strings — 100% of the English UI copy
shipped in DSH 0.2.2-rc.1 (commit
c59d10a; v1.1.0). Placeholders,
Markdown, separator strings and punctuation are preserved and validated
against source.
- The language appears in Settings → General → Language → Türkçe; the choice
persists as
locale.preference in cordis.patch.yml, <html lang> follows the
active locale, and English/Turkish switching works live in both directions.
Settings with Dil: Türkçe
Install
The package is both a client plugin and a DSH bundle (dsh.bundle.patch), so
it can be installed manually or from a plugin market index.
From the DSH plugin market (Discover)
Market index:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mkfeyman/dsh-turkish-locale/main/market-index.json
Add that URL as an index source in Plugins → More → Discover (Settings →
Plugins also lists the configured sources), then install "Türkçe dil paketi".
The installer pins
git+https://github.com/mkfeyman/dsh-turkish-locale#<commit>, so Git must be
available to pnpm on the machine.
Manual install
-
Copy this package into a DSH profile's node_modules:
Copy-Item -Recurse dsh-turkish-locale "$HOME\\.dsh\\profiles\\desktop\\node_modules\\"
-
Add rows to the profile's cordis.patch.yml:
- insert:
- id: tr-locale
name: dsh-turkish-locale
- id: locale
config:
preference: tr
-
With HMR enabled the pack activates in the running app; otherwise restart the
app (or reload the Web GUI). Choose Ayarlar → Genel → Dil to switch.
Compatibility
- Verified working on DSH 0.2.2-rc.1 (commit
c59d10a): the pack loads from
the boot graph, the selector lists 8 built-in languages plus Türkçe, switching
round-trips, and locale.preference: tr persists. Runtime contracts
(addLanguage, register(ns, locale, dict), resolveText, snapshot) are
unchanged from 0.2.1-rc.3. See
docs/upgrade-analysis-0.2.2-rc1.md.
- Coverage (v1.1.0): re-extracted from 0.2.2-rc.1 and translated to
73 namespaces / 3,838 strings — 100 % of the shipped English UI copy,
including the 981 strings added by 0.2.2 (10 new namespaces:
forgePanel 253, liveshare 225, stats 177, …). The 60 changed English
source values were reviewed and updated where the meaning moved. Measured
delta and fixture notes: fixtures/version-coverage.json.
Release notes: docs/release-notes-v1.1.0.md.

Ordered locale preference (Discussion #11699)
The community proposal to replace the single UI locale with an ordered
preference list (ru → en → zh) is supported by this pack. We published:
- Patch draft for
packages/client/locale, rebased to dsh-v0.2.2-rc.1
(tag commit 66491b05…) and CI-validated:
patches/0003-ordered-locale-preference-0.2.2-rc1.patch
(17 files: the locale package — legacy string preferences read as
one-element lists, snapshot.active stays the first entry, lookup expands each
preferred language's fallback chain and ends at English, reorderable settings
row — plus 5 sibling test fixtures whose LocaleSnapshot literals gain
preference). Applied to a checked-out rc.1 tree: vitest 79/79, sanctioned
typecheck gate 5/5, patch self-check reproduces the tree exactly — see
patches/validation-report-0.2.2-rc1.json.
Older variants: 0002
(alpha.2) and 0001 (rc.3).
- Fixture to exercise it:
fixtures/ — a 59.4 %
Turkish subset (1728 / 2910 keys) plus expected-behavior.json samples for
["tr","en"], ["en","tr"], ["tr","zh"] and the legacy single selection;
version-coverage.json records why the 0.2.2 delta (9 namespaces / 853 strings)
falls through to English in fixture tests.
- Layer-2 audit:
tools/audit_locale_gaps.py
measures the case ordering cannot fix — namespaces that register only zh and
CJK keys that would leak as raw text — from a local dictionary dump
({namespace: {locale: {key: value}}}). Sample: .
Classification confirmed with : typed (zh+en) dictionaries are
fixed by ordering; per-locale -only dictionaries are not, and a tarball
listing cannot distinguish them, so the rule belongs at registration time.
Partial Turkish demo
The Turkish pack is unaffected by the change: tr → en behaves exactly like the
ordered list ["tr","en"].
Provenance
The dictionaries were extracted from the English source of the client packages
installed with DSH 0.2.1-rc.3 and translated namespace by namespace; every
translated value was checked against its source placeholder set before the
bundle was generated. The proposal was shared with the DeepSeek Harness team in
Discussions #11015.
