How do I translate these untranslated Words into Chinese?

Post by oscarchan »

I set global locale to Chinese but some of the properties still remain in English.
Is there a way I can translate this part through python console??
Thanks!

Check if these are available on crowdin. There takes the community effort place for the translation.

The current state of Chinese translation is:
- Chinese simplified: 61%
- Chinese traditional: 40%

You can help with translations on Crowdin, it will be appreciated for sure.

I am quite sure that these words are translated in Crowdin . But for unknown reason they don't get translated.
Thank you!

Correct me if I'm wrong but I think property names and property groups are not supposed to be translated to begin with, recently there was a discussion about removing the translation from that single group name that actually is translated. The rationale behind not translating these is that they are meant to be accessed through python too, and in python you have to use the original names, translations won't work.

recently there was a discussion about the possibility to translate them but it raised some issues.

so for the moment, @oscarchan don't spend time on that, on reverse, it is better to keep them in English because they are used in the wiki pages as they are.

and welcome on board.
