Overview

This PR addresses Issue #89 Proof read machine translations by fixing systematic machine translation errors in the Simplified Chinese (zh-CN) localization file.

Cboard helps users with speech and language impairments (autism, cerebral palsy) communicate through symbols and text-to-speech. Accurate Chinese translations directly affect Chinese-speaking AAC users' ability to use this tool effectively.

Issues Fixed

1. "board" mistranslated as "董事会" (corporate board) → fixed to "面板" (communication panel)

49 occurrences. In AAC context, "board" means a communication panel, not a corporate board of directors.

Before After
私人董事会 私人面板
我的董事会 我的面板
董事会更改已保存 面板更改已保存

2. "communicator" mistranslated as "通讯器" (communication device) → fixed to "沟通器" (AAC communicator)

12 occurrences. For AAC tools, "沟通器" is the correct term.

3. ARASAAC symbol library name typo → fixed to "ARASAAC"

3 occurrences. The Spanish symbol library name was missing an 'A'.

Before After
RASAAC 符号 ARASAAC 符号

4. "tile" mistranslated as "磁贴" (Windows UI term) → fixed to "图块" (AAC tile)

14 occurrences. In AAC, tiles are communication symbols, not Windows Metro tiles.

Before After
磁贴上的标签 图块上的标签
删除磁贴吗 删除图块吗

5. Traditional/Simplified Chinese mixed → unified to Simplified

Several entries mixed Traditional Chinese characters (這個,資料夾,編輯) with Simplified. All unified to Simplified Chinese.

Impact

  • Total changes: 90 lines modified (45 additions, 45 deletions)
  • Beneficiaries: Chinese-speaking AAC users who rely on Cboard for communication
  • Risk: Low — translation strings only, no code changes

Verification

  • JSON syntax validated (3939 keys, all valid)
  • No remaining instances of problematic translations

This contribution was created as part of a Digital Public Goods volunteer effort to improve accessibility for Chinese-speaking users with communication needs.

修复以下翻译错误:

- board → 面板 (之前误译为'董事会')
- communicator → 沟通器 (AAC 语境下的沟通工具)
- ARASAAC 拼写错误 (之前为'RASAAC')
- tile → 图块 (AAC 图块,而非 Windows 磁贴)
- 繁简混杂问题 (统一为简体中文)

受益对象:使用 Cboard 进行增强和替代沟通的中文用户
修复 Issue: cboard-org#89

翻译质量改进:
- 49 处 board 相关翻译修正
- 12 处 communicator 相关翻译修正
- 3 处 ARASAAC 拼写修正
- 14 处 tile 相关翻译修正
- 多处繁简混杂统一为简体中文

总计修复 90 行翻译文本。
