Help translate EveLens into Simplified Chinese (帮助翻译简体中文)

[aliacollins]

EveLens now supports Simplified Chinese (简体中文) — character planner, skill queue manager, and skill farm dashboard, fully translated. I'd love help from the Chinese EVE community to make the translation read naturally.

Try the latest build: v1.4.0-beta.4 — download at evelens.dev, then Settings → Appearance → Language → 简体中文. This build fixes a bug where some skill and item names showed in English even in Chinese, and the ship/item browser categories now translate too. If you spot anything still in English or awkward, please tell me here.

This is the home for Simplified Chinese translation help. (Korean has its own thread.)

How translation works in EveLens

There are two layers:

1. The 50,000+ EVE names — ships, skills, items, market groups. These come straight from CCP's official Static Data Export, so they're already correct in Chinese. You never need to touch these.
2. The ~660 UI strings — menus, buttons, labels, tooltips. This is the human part, and where I need your eyes. About 205 of them currently fall back to English after a recent codebase cleanup, until someone translates them.

How to help (no coding, no tools)

Each string looks like this:

KEY: PlanEditor.Cost
EN:  Cost
NEW:    <- write the Chinese here, or leave blank if English is fine

Just suggest better wording for anything that reads awkwardly. Reply here, or open a pull request. Keep the KEY: line as-is, and keep any {0} or \n markers. Many entries are universal EVE terms (SP, ISK, Omega, Amarr, Caldari) — leave those blank. Anyone who helps is credited by name in the app's About page and release notes.

中文说明

EveLens 现已支持简体中文。

请试用最新版本：v1.4.0-beta.4 —— 在 evelens.dev 下载，然后在 设置 → 外观 → 语言 中选择 简体中文。这个版本修复了某些技能和物品名称即使在中文下也显示英文的问题，舰船/物品的分类目录现在也能正确翻译。如果你发现还有英文或别扭的地方，请在这里告诉我。

这里是简体中文翻译的专属讨论区（韩语有单独的讨论帖）。翻译分两层：5 万多个 EVE 名称直接来自 CCP 官方 SDE，已是正确中文，无需改动；约 660 条界面文本需要人工翻译，其中约 205 条目前回退显示英文。

帮忙方式很简单：在下方每条的 NEW: 行填写更好的中文译法即可（保留 KEY: 行、{0} 和 \n 标记；通用术语如 SP、ISK、Omega、艾玛留空即可）。任何贡献都会以你的名字记入应用「关于」页面。谢谢大家！
