Add Chinese Translation
Add Chinese translation in configuration
Hi @quanzhuo, nice contribution. I am in general in favour of adding support for languages other than English but we need to be careful how we do it, for a couple of reasons.
- It needs to be done to all the UI elements not just the package.json i.e. descriptions of settings
- We have no way of maintaining it, so it will inevitably end up being out of date whenever we change/add/remove settings. For example see the PR for version 3.0 https://github.com/krvajal/vscode-fortran-support/pull/293
To address the 1st point the implementation would have to look something like what the vscode-cpptools. For the 2nd point I actually have no idea how to address, any thoughts on that?
@gnikit Very considerate of you. I can't find a very convenient way to address the second point. Maybe you can set owner for each language. And only release new version after all the i18n work is done.

That is a bit of an issue since it will increase the development time quite substantially (currently, I am the only one actively maintaining the extension). I will see if this can be added to version 3.0. and if so I will tag you in that PR.

If this PR is merged. And you add new settings afterwards. You can at me, I am glad to help translating it to Chinese.
