Re: [libreoffice-l10n] Re: Volunteer for LibreOffice Localization: Simplified Chinese (zh-CN) and Japanese (ja)

Dear 庄颖,

Great to see new translator interested in contributing to LibreOffice!

As the only active translator on the zh-CN team, I am glad to review
your suggestions, and once you have proved your abilities, give my
endorsement for you to get direct editing privileges.

For simplified Chinese, the only actively maintained part is the UI
translation, and the website and online help haven't had a translator
for years. You are free to pick any part you like (including improving
the UI translation). Unfortunately there isn't much written document
for terminology, and my only requirement is not blindly using machine
translation / LLM AI result for translation. You can send me an email
(or use other common instant messaging software popular in China)
if you have questions.

Kind regards and good luck,
Ming
