Switch Sodium to Chinese Language
Access Language Settings
Once the mod is installed, launch Minecraft and reach the main menu. Open Options (or Settings), then navigate to Language.
Select Your Chinese Variant
Scroll through the language list to find either Simplified Chinese or Traditional Chinese, depending on your preference:
- Simplified Chinese uses streamlined characters and is standard in mainland China
- Traditional Chinese uses full-form characters and is common in Taiwan and Hong Kong
Click your chosen language to apply it.
Verify Sodium UI Updates
Return to the main menu or open Sodium's video settings (usually accessible via Options > Video Settings). All Sodium menus, toggles, sliders, and tooltips should now display in your selected Chinese language.
If text still appears in English, restart Minecraft completely to ensure the language change takes full effect. The mod automatically detects Minecraft's language setting, so no additional configuration is needed.
