How to Install Chinese Language Pack

Method #1. Install via Composer

Install the Chinese language pack via composer is never easier.

Install Chinese pack:

composer require mageplaza/magento-2-chinese-language-pack:dev-master
php bin/magento cache:clean
php bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy zh_CN
php bin/magento indexer:reindex
php bin/magento cache:clean
php bin/magento cache:flush

Update Chinese pack:

composer update mageplaza/magento-2-chinese-language-pack:dev-master
php bin/magento cache:clean
php bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy zh_CN
php bin/magento indexer:reindex
php bin/magento cache:clean
php bin/magento cache:flush

Method #2. Install via command line

Install the Chinese language pack via command line.

Download language file to your installation root directory. Now run the following command:

wget https://github.com/mageplaza/magento-2-chinese-language-pack/raw/master/zh_CN.csv
php bin/magento i18n:pack -m replace zh_CN.csv zh_CN
php bin/magento cache:clean
php bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy zh_CN
php bin/magento indexer:reindex
php bin/magento cache:clean
php bin/magento cache:flush

As a result, a directory langpack will be created that contains proper structure of language files for your installation. Copy it over to your Magento installation and the translations should be visible.

Note: additional directory i18n contains strings for which the module could not be found in your installation. This file can be skipped.
