Both Chinese variants, each with the complete interface (2,861 sentences), the 17 chapters of the user guide, and a README of its own.

  • zh-CN and zh-TW registered as languages; each catalogue is fetched only when chosen.

    • zh-Hans, zh-Hant, zh-TW, zh-HK and zh-MO are recognised for the first paint and for the language choice.
    • Language menu order, guide links, README navigation, sitemap/hreflang and video lists follow.
    • Tests cover the new catalogues, the guides, detection and the boot script.
      Validation:
  • npm run i18n:status: both 2861/2861 sentences, 17/17 chapters, complete, no problems

    • npm run typecheck
    • npm test: 2805/2805
    • npm run guide: 254 pages
    • npm run export: static export succeeds

@crazykay thank you, two languages with the full guide is a big piece of work. I will go through it and test it here. One thing I would like to know: how were the Chinese texts made, and has a native speaker read them? If they were machine translated, that is fine too, I would just mark it that way and ask the community to proof-read.

If you'd like to support the project, a small donation is very welcome.

I am a native Chinese speaker. The Chinese translation was done using a large AI model. I did some proofreading myself, but I couldn't cover everything.

@crazykay Thank you for the details. I tested it here with the other changes and it works. One change I made: I marked both languages as not complete, like Hungarian and Spanish. Sentences added later then show in English until the Chinese ones follow in a small pull request, so a release never waits for them. And because the texts are machine translated and only partly read, I will ask the community to proof-read them.
