Localization notes and tips

[BlakeNeko]

When I'm using Sandboxie-plus, I noticed some zh-CN translation is missing or can be improved.
I tried walk through the source code and found the translation files but don't know how to get start.
Since I don't have any experience how to add/modify translations while using github or other tools, it's Is there any methods I can help to fix them?

You might be interested to read the following comments / threads:

1. Refine message strings, updating all .ts files and including Simplified Chinese fixes #905 (comment)
2. Updating translations on Sandboxie Plus - how to? #885 (comment)
3. Offering help to translate to spanish latam #593 (comment)

I don't recommend the standalone version of Linguist (the translation tool), because you can't use it to run the first command line that I found useful to translate all missing strings at 100%.

Here you can find the location of the Plus translations in the repository
Here you can find the location of the Plus installer translation
Here you can find the location of the Sandboxie Classic translations

I would also recommend GitHub desktop to create new commits, it helps to manage a lot of strings.

Another recommendation is to not remove the <byte value="xd"/> references in sandman_zh-CN.ts or any other .ts file, they are there for a reason and they don't require to be translated or to be put inside the translation tags.

I might convert this issue as pinned discussion afterwards.
