Since the link is in Chinese: MiMo Code is Xiaomi’s AI agentic coding harness.
“ MiMoCode is a terminal-native AI coding assistant. It can read and write code, run commands, manage Git, and use a persistent memory system to keep a deep understanding of your project across sessions while continuously improving itself.”
GitHub link (English): https://github.com/XiaomiMiMo/MiMo-Code
@dang might be better to link to the GitHub, and not for language reasons.
(Edit: for posterity, original URL as submitted was [0]).
You can change the language via the header: The rightmost option is a language dropdown.
It's a client-side change and doesn't impact the URL so users must manually change it each time they visit the site though
Thanks, I missed that on first glance and did manual translation.
Not sure why my iPhone shows an option to translate website but all the destination languages to pick from (I have multiple languages installed), including English, are greyed out. iPhone does support translating from Chinese (Simplified or Traditional), and the button to translate website isn’t greyed out like it is for unsupported/unrecognized languages. Might be an iOS 27 bug, because it is working on other websites?
It's entirely possible, and even standard, to allow the browser to tell your site which language to respond in.
While ignorance of internationalization standards is a possibility, and the most likely cause.. I do wonder if it's a bit of a nudge to promote Chinese influence in the AI space.
Not that they really need to do that, China is already doing great (relatively, depending on criteria). The implosion of the US, the resulting brain drain and world shake-up has been very timely for their AI and other industries.
It's a very smart move for them to think longer term and start freezing out NVIDIA. Then they can take Taiwan purely for ideological concerns and not worry at all about the fabs blowing up in the process.
And they won't be dependent on foreign factories sitting on an island just off the shore of a superpower who's shown nothing below absolute resolve for decades towards the idea of conquering that island....
Why not persist it through a query param? Or a lang param for that matter
Feels like maybe you're just noticing this because it defaults to Chinese. Is that true?
How many sites do this but you don't notice because they default to English?

This is really strange, but the link provided has an iframe pointing to https://mimo.xiaomi.com/coder
When you look at the source, you can set it to English from the params https://mimo.xiaomi.com/coder?lang=en but there's a small bug, the hero subtitle isn't translated but everything else is.
Wondering why this is in an iframe.... so strange
Language support was probably an afterthought since their target audience all read Chinese
