Update Simplified Chinese Translation

[UM-Li]

• Corrected the alt-menu entries so that they work properly.
• Translated strings newly added since last time.

Oops I ran scripts/create-locales.sh to update zh_CN.po, but it seems other POT files were also somehow changed... I'm not sure if this may break something; if necessary I'll reopen this PR.

谢谢 (Thank you!)

No problem about the other POT/PO files. For cleanness, I've taken them out of this pull request (to only show zh_CN.po changes) and squashed your two commits into one. Here's a trick for next time:

git add locale/zh_CN.po
git commit -m "Update Simplified Chinese Translation"

In polychromatic-controller, do the translations appear as expected in your locale?

For me (in any other language), passing --locale still shows English in some places. I think .ui files are not translated properly, but it might something to do with the recent update (just related observation, not a fault with your work!). Maybe it works if the system is fully configured to that locale. I'll do some investigation and either fix that parameter or update the documentation.

Hi @lah7, some strings do not show their translation here either (mine is a fully zh_CN.UTF-8 environment). For now all entries in zh_CN.po have been translated, so it does seem like something with the source code. There are occurrences of this in both the controller and the tray app:

Thanks for the info! There were a few bugs with how translations were processed, which have been fixed. These were mainly regressions from the v0.9.0 release.

Would you be happy to pull the latest changes and check your translation? There will be new strings for the tray applet and CLI interfaces too (./scripts/create-locales.sh)

After the translation is up-to-date, I'll look at publishing a new release.

Hi, just finished translating the new strings and tested with devices I have. Translations for the controller and tray app seem good, but the cli app has a place where wide characters may overlap. As far as I see strings no. 341-44 may be affected, polychromatic-cli lines 380-391.

Thanks, great job! 👍🏼

I made some attempts locally to try and accommodate the wider characters using code, but I didn't feel satisfied with the result without impacting other languages (mostly it ends up too wide in --help). I can see the problem, as far as the code is concerned, it's seen as 3 characters, but the terminal renders them wider. There is a calculation (print_columns) to move the cursor so it looks like a table.

This is what I was experimenting with → 30efc7e. I am wondering about discontinuing the CLI interface in future, so we shouldn't spend too long on this.

For now, the simplest solution seems to be adding additional spaces at the end of the translated string for this affected area. What do you think?

Yes, tested in my environment too and this works 👍
