Please see below: # The commented text in the templates below should be translated into # *Simplified Chinese* in the Description field (on a single line!). # After that has been done, the templates can be uncommented (the # example text should remain commented!). Template: localechooser/translation/text/warn_incomplete/zh_CN Type: text This means that there is a significant chance that some dialogs will be displayed in Traditional Chinese or, if that is also not available, in English. Description: 这说明很可能某些对话框将会以繁体中文来显示，或者，如果那也不可用，则 会以英文显示。 Template: localechooser/translation/text/warn_normal-ok/zh_CN Type: text If you do anything other than a purely default installation, there is a real chance that some dialogs will be displayed in Traditional Chinese or, if that is also not available, in English. Description: 如果您执行纯粹的默认安装以外的操作，有很大可能性某些对话框会以繁体中 文显示，或者，如果那也不可用，则会以英文显示。 Template: localechooser/translation/text/warn_partial/zh_CN Type: text If you continue the installation in the selected language, most dialogs should be displayed correctly but - especially if you use the more advanced options of the installer - some may be displayed in Traditional Chinese or, if that is also not available, in English.
