Translations for zh-CN and zh-TW are very odd

Describe the Bug

First, thanks for the great extension. It saved me from the tedious work of writing configuration files manually.

I'm a native speaker of Chinese (both simplified and traditional) and the translations look very odd to me. It translates "Items" to "物品" which is correct literally but not natural in the context of this extension. Usually, "物品" is referred to objects in real life, instead of virtual things in the computer, where "项目" would be more suitable.

Is it translated by machine translators? If so, I could help translating the extension. However, I didn't find any information about how to do it anywhere in this repo, so please point me to the appropriate procedure of improving translations.

Extension Output

Omitted due to not being a bug of the code, but the translations.

Steps To Reproduce

  1. Right click on an explorer item
  2. Look at the name of the menu item of the extension

Expected Behavior

Translations are natural to native speakers of the language.
