Description of the new feature/enhancement

changing the language of the terminal was kind of a puzzle for me, I would suggest adding a hint or short description in the UI guiding devs on how to change the language of the terminal interface. Instead of letting them figure it out by themselves and pushing them to jump around between tabs, windows, and other staff.

The idea I suggest would improve the UX if currently, a solution is not possible.

Do you have any specific suggestions for the UI? What would you expect to see?

I personally would go to the docs, search for "language", and that would take me to the docs for the setting. What could we do better?

I think going to the settings (UI) is the first place a user does if wants to change something like the interface language.
Showing "change language" label with a description of how to change it, would be very helpful!
