“The Art of War” campaign, tooltip for the fast-castle challenge on the top right corner.
“Build order” should have been translated to “建造顺序” (‘order’ in the sense of ‘sequence’) instead of “建造命令” (‘order’ in the sense of ‘command’) here.

成吉思汗战役第一关,第一页背景介绍:


其中,“蓝色的狼娶了一只休养的母鹿”指代应该是蒙古的苍狼白鹿传说。因此,“苍色的狼娶了一只白色的鹿”明显更为合适。

成吉思汗战役第一关,某页背景介绍:


其中,《蒙古人的秘史》指代的应是成书于13—14世纪,蒙古民族现存最早的一部历史文学典籍,该典籍在明朝时就有中文译本,官方译名为《蒙古秘史》。

Pachacuti Mission 1, the secondary objective translation is something else entirely, like some goal from another European campaign.

This is not addressed yet in Build 33315, Steam. What’s the priority of localization for now?

Build number: 33315

Platform: Steam

Location of text: Game Menu: Options -> Graphics -> Show Advanced Options

screenshot:


issue: This text itself and its tips have not been translated to Chinese.

suggestion: The Show Advanced Options should be: 显示高级选项
And the mass text which at bottom right should be:

显示或隐藏高级图像设置。点此按钮显示所有选项,玩家可开启或关闭指定图像选项,或进行微调。

Simplified Chinese font is not complete, many words will be displayed as question marks like “?”, and the Chinese symbol is displayed as a block like"□"

This problem exists in all places where Chinese is displayed, such as game text, chat and editor.
