Redo Simplified Chinese translation #108

Closed stevenlele closed 1 year ago

stevenlele commented 2 years ago

Replaced Noto Sans with default sans-serif because that font does not look good on all displays.
Changed the translation of “Don’t ask to ask” because the original one is usually interpreted as “Don’t ask questions because you are obliged or required to ask questions.” The new translation is literally “Don’t ask Any experts around?”
Redone translation and styling.

Glad to see someone improving this translation!

For the preferred font, it's better not to use bare sans-serif here - it will look bad when viewing from a non-Chinese version of Windows, as Simplified Chinese variant font usually doesn't take precedence over traditional or Japanese font (the example below is what Zhihu does):

font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Helvetica Neue", "PingFang SC", "Microsoft YaHei", "Source Han Sans SC", "Noto Sans CJK SC", "WenQuanYi Micro Hei", sans-serif;

Isn't setting <html lang="zh-Hans"> sufficient? I think modern browsers should be able to handle font family correctly.

The answer is yes, but it is better to get font family properly set, for the last resort.

Anyway I will approve this PR, for your better translation. Thanks! :-)
