Chinese translation of interface messages

[ko-ichi-h]

Description

KH Coder has Chinese interface but some messages have not been translated into Chinese yet.

How to Contribute

1. Fork and Clone this repository
2. Open "config/msg.cn" with your favorite text editor & search for ***not translated***.

There are lines like this:

max: '***not translated*** Max // 最大'

This is an example of a message that is not translated into Chinese. The meaning of this line is:

message-id: '***not translated*** English message // Japanese message'

Please edit the line like this to add Chinese message:

message-id: 'Chinese message'

It is really hard to look at the messages like below in the console and add the translation in the file.

Missing from cn.msg: gui_window::word_search -> show_bars "Bar chart"

I suggest that adding all items to the config file with English description as the default value. It will make the translation easier. Because we just need to search for the English word and replace it with Chinese word.

Thanks to DayuanJiang's contribution: https://github.com/ko-ichi-h/khcoder/commit/e99608c804ef8f58159052a40a4d44eb306b1a6c, Chinese translation of interface messages have been completed, except for SCREEN AS's plug-in. I close this issue for now. In the future, if further translation of messages becomes necessary, I will reopen it.

Also, I would like to consider improving procedure for adding translations. Thanks for pointing it out.

Hi icekylin,

There are many untlanslated labels. You can start contibuting at anytime.

To contribute, open "config/msg.cn" and search for ***not translated***. Please read the 1st post of this issue for more details. You can skip step 4 (testing) if you want to.

Thank you.
