ByteDance has released Trae, an AI integrated development environment designed specifically for Chinese developers, aiming to improve the programming experience of Chinese developers and compete with similar international products such as Cursor and Windsurf. The emergence of Trae aims to solve the shortcomings of existing IDEs in Chinese support, such as the inconvenience of switching between Chinese and English and the lack of optimization for Chinese users. It is designed from the ground up to fully consider the needs of Chinese developers, provides a full Chinese interface and friendly code comment support, and strives to create a smoother development process.
ByteDance recently launched Trae, an AI integrated development environment (IDE) for Chinese developers. This product is designed to compete with internationally renowned tools such as Cursor and Windsurf, especially in terms of user experience for Chinese developers. Trae hopes to fill the shortcomings of existing tools.
In daily programming, many developers often need to switch between English and Chinese. Although this mixed working mode of Chinese and English is commonplace, it makes many Chinese developers feel inconvenient. Existing IDEs such as Cursor, Windsurf and Vscode, although powerful, fail to be specially optimized for Chinese users, causing discomfort when using them. Trae emerged to solve this problem.
Trae IDE has fully considered the needs of Chinese developers from the beginning of its underlying design, providing a comprehensive Chinese interface and friendly code comment support, and is committed to bringing a smoother use experience. In addition, Trae also integrates international mainstream large models such as Claude3.5 and GPT-4o, and has the functions of intelligent code generation and logic optimization. Although there is still room for improvement in the ability to understand Chinese, Trae's focus is to provide a usage experience that is consistent with the actual scenarios of Chinese developers.
In Trae's interface, users can easily choose built-in programming languages and themes, and the interface is friendly and concise. In addition, Trae supports migrating configurations from Vscode or Cursor, which greatly facilitates users to get started. At the same time, Trae also provides an AI Chat function. Users can interact with AI through shortcut keys, and AI can provide code update suggestions. Although it differs from Cursor in some aspects, such as contextual referencing during conversations, Trae demonstrates unique utility.
It is worth noting that Trae also has a powerful Builder function that can generate complete code projects according to user needs. However, users still need to manually confirm the code generated by AI during the project development process to ensure the integrity and accuracy of the code. This process may be a little more cumbersome, but it also gives users greater control.
The launch of Trae not only enriches the tool choices for Chinese developers, but also opens up new possibilities for improving their programming experience.
