This thread is for discussing and collaboratively improving the Simplified Chinese translation for SubtitleEdit Avalonia (SE5). Use it to collect feedback and align translation quality and style.
Background
The initial translation was generated by a conversion script from LenhartStephan that adapted SubtitleEdit 4’s Chinese translation into a format usable by SE5.
Building on that, @MontageSubs member Meow P (@mtsubs ) supplemented and polished translations for items that were added or missing in SE5, producing the first Simplified Chinese JSON file ready for direct use in SE5.
How to contribute translations to SubtitleEdit Avalonia
Edit the repository (preferred)
Edit the file at /src/UI/Assets/Languages/ChineseSimplified.json in the repository (the project is moving fast and this path may change; follow the latest replies or source code for the current location).
Submit your changes so they can be merged into the main project for everyone to benefit from.
Validate locally with the portable build (temporary method)
When you run the portable launcher, a Languages folder is created in the program directory.
Edit Languages/ChineseSimplified.json to see your changes on the next program start.
Note: changes in the portable build affect only your local copy. Please submit final edits to the official repository.
Contribute without a GitHub account
Email your modified ChineseSimplified.json to niksedk, or join MontageSubs’ IRC channel (no registration required) and post a download link for your file in the channel.
Other translators and contributors will help forward and merge your changes into the project.
How to give feedback (guidelines for posting in this thread)
Recommended content: problem description, affected UI location, original text and suggested translation, and screenshots.
Language: Chinese or English are both welcome.
Translator contribution guidelines
Keep keys unchanged; only modify value text.
Consistent terminology: use the same translation for common items.
Concise and clear: UI text should be short and intuitive; avoid lengthy phrasing.
Context aware: consider differences between buttons, menus, tooltips, and other UI contexts.
Use Simplified Chinese conventions for wording and punctuation.
