The new translation keys providers.ollama.toolsNote and validation.modelMayNotSupportTools contain English text in 17 non-English locale files (ca, es, fr, hi, id, it, ja, ko, nl, pl, pt-BR, ru, tr, vi, zh-CN, zh-TW). Only the German (de) locale has actual translations. This means users with these language settings will see English messages mixed into their otherwise translated interface. Consider adding proper translations for these locales, or at minimum note this as a follow-up task.
Fix it with Roo Code or mention @roomote and request a fix.
Summary
This PR attempts to address Issue #10906.
Problem
Users experienced confusion when Ollama models that appeared in
ollama lswere not showing up in Roo Code's model picker, or when manually entered models produced the error "The model ID ... you provided is not available" without explaining why.The issue was that models without native tool calling support were being silently filtered out from the model list.
Solution
Added informational note to the Ollama settings UI: Below the model picker, users now see the message "Models that do not support native tool calling are excluded from this list." This addresses the user's suggestion for a simple explanatory sentence.
Improved error message for manually entered models: When a user manually enters a model that is not in the available list, the error message now explains: "The model ID ... you provided is not in the available models list. This may be because the model does not support native tool calling, which is required for Roo Code."
Updated all locale files with the new translation keys.
