Stable Diffusion in Chinese, with Brutally Honest Patch Notes

What it does

This repo is a Simplified Chinese localization extension for AUTOMATIC1111’s Stable Diffusion WebUI. It ships JSON translation files that render the core interface and a curated list of popular extensions—ControlNet, Segment Anything, LoRA block weight, and others—in Chinese. The maintainer also offers a bilingual Chinese-English.json option if you want to learn the original jargon while you click.

The interesting bit

The README’s candor is the real feature: the author openly admits translations are stitched together from ChatGPT, Youdao, and web searches, and that they haven’t personally tested every function. It is a refreshing departure from polished marketing, though it also signals the project is a side quest the maintainer has largely abandoned for LLMs.

Key highlights

• Covers the main WebUI plus nine popular extensions, including ControlNet and multidiffusion-upscaler.
• Offers two flavors: Chinese-All for full localization, or Chinese-English for mixed labels.
• Last major update (v0313) was March 2024 after a five-month hiatus.
• Author is now focused on LLM projects and expects fewer updates as personal interest shifts.
• 3,213 stars suggest the Chinese-speaking SD community was hungry for it.

Caveats

• Translations are crowdsourced via automated tools and may miss niche feature context; the maintainer invites corrections.
• Extension coverage is frozen to the versions listed; newer extension releases might have untranslated strings.
• The author explicitly warns their own Stable Diffusion usage has dropped off, so future updates may be sporadic.

Verdict

Grab it if you need a Chinese interface for AUTOMATIC1111’s WebUI and its most common extensions. Skip it if you demand professionally vetted, continuously maintained localization.
