[Feature Request] Add Chinese (zh-CN) localization for Edge Tools sidebar UI #4550

Description

@ParseMaster2026

Summary

The Edge Tools extension UI (e.g., "Launch Instance", "Generate launch.json", "Documentation") is currently English-only. As a Chinese-speaking developer, I find it challenging to use the tool efficiently without translation.

Why this matters

  • VS Code has strong Chinese community support (official Chinese language pack available)
  • Edge Tools is widely used for debugging modern web apps
  • Many developers in China rely on this extension daily

Proposed solution

Add zh-cn.json under src/i18n/, following VS Code's localization guide. The extension already has i18n infrastructure — only translation strings are missing.

Example translations needed:

Key English Suggested Chinese
launchInstance Launch Instance 启动实例
generateLaunchJson Generate launch.json 生成 launch.json
documentation Documentation 文档
reportBug Report a Bug 报告问题
requestFeature Request a Feature 提出功能建议
targets TARGETS 目标
helpfulLinks HELPFUL LINKS 有用链接

I am willing to contribute the full Chinese translation if the team approves this request.
