Chinese characters in dialogs
Answered
Recently, Chinese characters have appeared in several places in the dialog boxes.
I have read "Chinese characters in project settings menu" but I have not installed any third party plugins. Not even plugin 'Tiny Service'.

What kind of dialog is that? Where does it appear?
Can you provide the contents of the IDE's About dialog?
E.g. the dialog at Settings->PHP->Include Path->+
Do you only have the problem in file chooser dialogs or other dialogs too?
No but it seems that all file chooser dialogs are affected
The IDE uses the macOS system provided API to invoke the macOS native file chooser directly to pick files, which uses your macOS system language.
If you use the traditional Chinese in your macOS, the native file chooser would use the traditional Chinese too.
I don't use the traditional Chinese language in my macOS. In other programs, the file chooser is always in German. I can't even read Chinese.
But thanks for the hint, I realized that Chinese was set as a secondary language in the system settings. After I changed that, the file chooser in PS is also in German.
Thank you very much
Although, there is not way to show the chinese dialog/suggestion still I am getting chinese suggestion

Sabbirh2010, thank you for reaching out. The suggestions like
io.cucumber.java.zh_tware coming from Cucumber’s multi-language support, which includes step definitions for various locales.To prevent these from appearing in code completion, please follow these steps:
Add the following entries:
io.cucumber.java.zh_twio.cucumber.java.zh_cnio.cucumber.java.jaThis should remove those suggestions from the auto-complete list.
Let me know if that helps.
Thanks
