Stable Diffusion WebUI Chinese
Stable Diffusion WebUI Chinese is a project aimed at providing a simplified Chinese interface for the popular Stable Diffusion Web UI. It is based on localizing the latest version of the official web UI as of March 13, 2024. The project underlines a growing need to make advanced AI models accessible to a broader non-English-speaking audience, particularly those interested in AI-generated artwork.
Project Overview
The Stable Diffusion WebUI Chinese project involves the translation of the Stable Diffusion Web UI and several related plugins into simplified Chinese. The translations have been made possible thanks to tools like chatGPT, Youdao Translation, and comprehensive web searches.
The author acknowledges the vastness of the project and admits to potential inaccuracies in translations, inviting users to offer suggestions for improvements. This openness not only enriches the project but also fosters community involvement, ensuring the translation remains functional and user-friendly.
Included Extensions
The project includes translations for several notable extensions integral to the Stable Diffusion experience:
- ControlNet: Updated on March 6, 2024
- openpose-editor: Updated on December 19, 2023
- multidiffusion-upscaler: Updated on March 9, 2024
- artists-to-study: Version from June 26, 2023
- dataset-tag-editor: Version from June 5, 2023
- lora-block-weight: Updated on February 12, 2024
- segment-anything: Updated on February 24, 2024
- vectorstudio: Version from May 28, 2023

These translations make it easier for Chinese users to utilize these extensions without language barriers.
Installation Instructions
Two primary methods are suggested for installing Stable Diffusion WebUI Chinese:
Method 1: Install via WebUI Extensions
- Open the Stable Diffusion WebUI and navigate to the "Extensions" tab.
- Click "Install from URL" and enter
https://github.com/VinsonLaro/stable-diffusion-webui-chinesein the URL field. - Click the yellow "Install" button, then restart the WebUI by selecting "Installed" next to "Install from URL", and click "Apply and restart UI".

- Apply settings and reload the UI to complete the language change.
Method 2: Direct Copy of Localized Templates
- Clone the repository using
git clone https://github.com/VinsonLaro/stable-diffusion-webui-chinese. - Copy the "Chinese-All.json" and "Chinese-English.json" files from the "localizations" folder into the "stable-diffusion-webui\localizations" directory.
- Select the desired localization in the "Settings" under "User interface".
- Apply settings and reload the UI to finalize the localization.
Reflections and Future Directions
Since exploring AI drawing, the project's journey from early tools like Disco Diffusion to the current era of Stable Diffusion has been significant. The advancements in AI drawing technology, with elements like SD1.5, waifu1.4, and novelai, have broadened its application, even attracting attention from commercial sectors.
The project creator mentions a personal shift in focus towards large language models (LLMs), showing a reduced interaction with AI drawing tools due to time constraints and personal challenges. Despite this, there remains a hopeful outlook towards achieving Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), indicating a vision for a future where AI technology is even more integrated and impactful.
