Trying to make zh-CN & zh-TW locales for the mod

[AmCh-Q]

Hi, I had been trying to translate your mod into zh-CN (Mandarin Chinese, for mainland China) and zh-TW (Traditional Chinese, for Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macau, etc.); you are welcomed to merge this into your mod, and if you wish so, I can help translating future mods into Chinese.
I'm not sure if this should be submitted as a pull request or an issue, I decided to submit it here anyway.
zh-CN.txt
zh-TW.txt
(GitHub doesn't allow me to submit .cfg files so I changed them to .txt)
(On the other hand, I'm not a programmer so I can't figure out what exactly is going on, but I can't use these translations in the game because there seems to be some sort of encoding/syntax error, either in the translated file themselves or the mod in handling locale files. ANSI encoding doesn't support Chinese characters so I have to use UTF-8 just like all the other translations are using, but when I do, errors pop out when I start the game.)

Try using "UTF-8 without Byte-Order-Marker", Depending on your editor it might be called "BOM", "Signature" or something else.

Thanks, tried it with Notepad++, that fixed the problem, now I can see translated item names in the game (although for some unknown reason, the re-encoded files, when opened in the vanilla Notepad, show garbled texts(not that it affects gameplay, though)).

I was waiting for time to look into this, but I'll just merge it since you tested it. Thank you so much for the translation, that's awesome of you to do. I hope the Chinese community likes the mod :)

Thanks, I'll let my Chinese friends who are playing Factorio learn about this mod.
There is another (minor) problem. I couldn't figure out how to translate the messages/items that's not included in the locale file.
For example, whenever you call [player.print()] in your code directly and print something in English, such as [player.print(string.format("%s's external connection is blocked."))] in line 268 of [factory.lua], I couldn't translate them since they are not included in a locale file, unless I just edit the code directly (which means removing the original English texts).
Same goes with the ['left', 'top', 'right', 'bottom'] in line 278 and the memes (I don't think most Chinese can get that meme even if I try to translate it, though).
I hope that in a later update (when you have time) you can migrate those strings into the locale file, so I can just submit pull requests for future translations.

I forgot about that. I'll take care of it soon
