Just change yor browser main language to Chinese:

You will be able to see translations:

Will you be able to help us with providing more Chinese translations? We track it from https://github.com/kubernetes/dashboard/issues/2077. I am working on translation guide in https://github.com/kubernetes/dashboard/pull/2103. Your help would be appreciated very much!

@maciaszczykm,
my outsite ie is using Chinese, but still not work
@chunnallu do you know how to display Chinese

I have solve the problem in my project !

1. if you are using an older version of dashboard , open the build/i18n.js， search

  if (fileExists(translationBundle)){
    command = `${command} --translations_file ${translationBundle}`;
  }

the code fileExists(translationBundle) can't not work in my ubuntu although the translationBundle
path exist ! It would cause your i18n folder be overrideed everytime you run gulp serve:prod , by the default english version.

you can quick fix it by replace by :

 if (fileExists.sync(translationBundle)){
    command = `${command} --translations_file ${translationBundle}`;
  }

or update to last version

1. if you are run with gulp serve , you should run with gulp serve:prod instead！
