Problem
In the Desktop (Tauri) app, several OS/system dialogs and the startup error screen are hardcoded in English, ignoring the app language.

Where
packages/desktop/src/updater.ts, packages/desktop/src/cli.ts, packages/desktop/src/index.tsx

Impact
Chinese users get mixed-language UI.

Suggested fix
Route these strings through the existing i18n system (preferred), or at least choose zh strings when the browser/OS locale is zh.
