Translation of "Hosts File" is incorrect

[zsynacl]

Microsoft PowerToys version

0.64.1

Utility with translation issue

Hosts File Editor

🌐 Language affected

Chinese

❌ Actual phrase(s)

“主机文件”

✔️ Expected phrase(s)

Hosts文件

ℹ Why is the current translation wrong

Chinese users does not use "主机文件" as the name of "Hosts File" in Chinese, we knonw what is "Hosts".

Besides, "hosts" is a special filename in Windows system, in such situation, we don't need to translate it. Just use "Hosts文件" is fine.

Agreed.

People tend to interpret the current translation "主机文件编辑器" as "the File Editor of host" instead of "the Hosts File editor". Wikis like Wikipedia and Baidu Baike in China all use "Hosts文件" instead of "主机文件" to refer to the Hosts File. There is no official translation of this term yet. There are multiple issues mentioning this issue. #22001 , #22026 , #22027 The tooltip of "Open Hosts file" button in the current version 0.64.1 also uses "hosts" instead of "主机" by the way.

The title is not translated, the inappropriate term "主机文件" still appears here

Hi! Thanks for making us aware of the problem. We raised the issue with our internal localization team. This issue should be fixed hopefully in the next version of PowerToys.
