Hi,
First of all, thank you for building BookShelves — it's a really clean and well-designed reader.
I'd like to suggest adding Simplified Chinese (zh-Hans) localization support to the app.
Currently, the app interface is English-only, which makes it less accessible for Chinese-speaking users. Given that BookShelves already supports a wide range of ebook formats and is great for managing personal libraries, adding basic i18n support would significantly improve usability.
Suggested Improvements:
- Add Simplified Chinese (zh-Hans) UI localization
- Localize key interface elements such as:
- Shelves / Collections
- Reading interface controls
- Settings and system labels
- Ensure proper handling of Chinese text in sorting and searching
Why this matters:
- There is a large number of Chinese-speaking users who read EPUB/PDF
- Many users manage large personal libraries where clear UI language is important
- It would make BookShelves more competitive with other reading apps that already support multiple languages
- Even partial localization (starting with core UI) would already be very helpful.
Thanks again for your work on this app — looking forward to future updates.
