I've seen many posts on how to change SQLDeveloper's language to English, by using the following method:

sqldeveloper.exe --AddVMOption=-Duser.language=en

I have tried this method with both English (en) and French (fr) but it does not work for Chinese. I have tried zh_CN, zh_cn, zh_TW, zh_tw, but they all will eventually show the following error message, after opening a connection:

Local not recognized
Vendor code 17176

Using zh does not produce this error, but it also doesn't do anything.

In the ide/bin/ide.boot file, I see the following line:

oracle.translated.locales = de,es,fr,it,ja,ko,pt_BR,zh_CN,zh_TW

which made he hopeful zh_CN would work, but it did not.

How can I configure SQLDeveloper to use Chinese?

I had to add the following to my sqldeveloper short cut:

sqldeveloperW.exe --AddVMOption=-Duser.language=zh --AddVMOption=-Duser.country=CN

The trick here is that -Duser.language=zh does not suffice. For other languages, like French and Russian, you do not need to specify -Duser.country.
