hi Everyone:

The tool UI looks great. I would like to check if it can support Chinese?

Yes, if I remember correctly, we have several users training Chinese models with Prodigy. spaCy doesn't yet have pre-trained models for Chinese, but it supports segmentation via third-party libraries and you can use the blank spaCy model as the base model, and then add other annotations like NER on top of it.

See here for more details and examples:
