vscode: language pack extension doesn't work after restart
Type: Bug
I’ve been using the Chinese language pack before, but lately it’s not working. When I open a new window, the interface language remains the default English. After I reinstalled and restarted, the interface language changed to Chinese. But after restarting again, it changed back to the original and vscode prompts me to install the language pack again. Throughout the process, it never appeared in the installed extension list. I tried other language packs that were not previously installed and this problem does not occur. The attempt in vscode insider version is also fine.

using vscode edit ~/.vscode/extensions/extensions.json just delete the language pack element and restart your vscode, then restart with new language pack. At least it works on my mac. as .vscode as a hidden path, you can just cd to the path in terminal and type " code extensions.json" in shell
It seems to be caused by some config files from old versions.
I have a machine installed 1.80 at first and updated to 1.81 does not have this issue. Another machine, which has this issue, is fixed by deleting
%AppData%/Codeand%HOME%/.vscodeand resyncing all settings and extensions.I had two profiles (without(default)/with copilot) and was having this issue. I tried it on the latest Insider build and couldn’t reproduce it. thank you.
