 - **DATA_DIR**: Specifies the directory where task data is stored
 - **ENABLE_THOUGHT_CHAIN**: Controls the thinking model in task planning workflow. When set to `true` (default), the system guides users to use the `process_thought` tool for step-by-step reasoning. When set to `false`, the system directly uses `analyze_task` to submit analysis results, skipping the detailed thinking process.
+- **TEMPLATES_USE**: Specifies the template set to use for prompts. Defaults to `en`. Currently available options are `en` and `zh`. To use custom templates, copy the `src/prompts/templates_en` directory to the location specified by `DATA_DIR`, rename the copied directory (e.g., to `my_templates`), and set `TEMPLATES_USE` to the new directory name (e.g., `my_templates`).
 
 For detailed instructions on customizing prompts, including supported parameters and examples, see the [Prompt Customization Guide](docs/en/prompt-customization.md).

 - **DATA_DIR**：指定任務數據存儲的目錄
 - **ENABLE_THOUGHT_CHAIN**：控制任務規劃工作流中的思考模式。當設置為 `true`（預設值）時，系統引導用戶使用 `process_thought` 工具進行逐步推理。當設置為 `false` 時，系統直接使用 `analyze_task` 提交分析結果，跳過詳細的思考過程。
+- **TEMPLATES_USE**：指定提示詞使用的模板集。預設為 `en`。目前可用的選項有 `en` 和 `zh`。若要使用自定義模板，請將 `src/prompts/templates_en` 目錄複製到 `DATA_DIR` 指定的位置，重新命名複製的目錄（例如，`my_templates`），並將 `TEMPLATES_USE` 設置為新的目錄名稱（例如，`my_templates`）。
