[Bug] Deduplicate Simplified Chinese locale (zh_CN vs zh_Hans)

[mariobehling]

The component currently contains two locale folders that both map to “Chinese (Simplified)” in Weblate, which leads to duplication/conflicts. Please keep a single canonical locale and remove the duplicate.

Details

• Language: Chinese (Simplified Han script)

• Language codes involved: zh_Hans, zh_CN

• Files / Paths:

  • src/_locales/zh_Hans/messages.json
  • src/_locales/zh_CN/messages.json

• First detected: ~2 months ago

• Last seen: ~2 months ago

Proposed fix

Use zh_CN as the canonical locale (Chrome/extension i18n commonly supports zh_CN), and remove zh_Hans. Before removal, merge any newer strings from zh_Hans into zh_CN.

Tasks

• Compare and merge any missing/new keys from src/_locales/zh_Hans/messages.json → src/_locales/zh_CN/messages.json.
• Delete src/_locales/zh_Hans/messages.json and the zh_Hans directory.
• Verify there are no references to zh_Hans in build scripts, CI, or docs.
• Update Weblate component configuration (file mask) so only the canonical path is tracked (e.g., src/_locales/*/messages.json) and ensure zh_Hans is not separately mapped.
• Run localization/build checks and ensure the app loads the Simplified Chinese translation correctly.
• (Optional) Add a lint/test guard to prevent adding multiple folders for languages mapped to the same Weblate language in the future.

Acceptance criteria

• Only one Simplified Chinese locale remains (zh_CN).
• Weblate shows a single language entry for Chinese (Simplified) without duplication.
• Build/CI passes; runtime correctly loads Simplified Chinese strings.
• No translation keys lost during the merge.
