Traditional Chinese (zh-TW)

This document provides locale-specific instructions for translating English Airflow UI strings into Traditional Chinese. It inherits all global rules from the parent SKILL.md.

Translation Styles

Prioritize terms commonly used in the Taiwan tech ecosystem.

Correct:

"user": "使用者",
"message": "訊息",
"support": "支援"

Incorrect:

"user": "用戶",
"message": "信息"
"support": "支持"

Plural Forms

Traditional Chinese does not distinguish between singular and plural forms. Use the same translation for both _one and _other suffixes:

English source:

"dagRun_one": "Dag Run",
"dagRun_other": "Dag Runs"

Correct — identical for both:

"dagRun_one": "Dag 執行",
"dagRun_other": "Dag 執行"

Spacing Rules

Insert a half-width space between Chinese characters and adjacent English words, numbers, or symbols:

Correct:

"Dag 執行"        // space between English and Chinese
"最近 12 小時"     // space around numbers
"連線 ID"          // space before abbreviation
"{{count}} 個連線" // space after placeholder

Incorrect:

"Dag執行"          // missing space
"最近12小時"       // missing space around numbers

Punctuation

• Use full-width punctuation for Chinese sentences: ， 。 ： ？ ！
• Use half-width punctuation for content within English terms, JSON, or code: , . : ?
• Use full-width parentheses for Chinese context: （ ）
• Use half-width parentheses when wrapping English or variables: ( )

Correct — full-width for Chinese sentences:

"confirmation": "您確定要刪除這個 {{resourceName}} 嗎？此動作無法復原。"

Correct — half-width for English/variable context:

"tooltip": "按下 {{hotkey}} 切換展開"

Measure Words (量詞)

Chinese requires measure words (量詞) between numbers and nouns. Use the appropriate measure word for each context:

Tone and Formality

• Use neutral, slightly formal register.
• Use 您 (formal "you") in confirmations and destructive actions: "您即將刪除以下連線：".
• Avoid colloquial or overly casual expressions.
• Keep translations concise — these are UI labels and button text.

Variable and Placeholder Examples

Preserve all {{variable}} placeholders. Reorder as needed for natural Chinese word order:

English source:

"title": "Mark {{type}} as {{state}}"

Correct — placeholders preserved:

"title": "標記 {{type}} 為 {{state}}"

Incorrect — variable names translated:

"title": "標記 {{類型}} 為 {{狀態}}"

Terminology Reference

The established zh-TW translations are defined in the existing locale files. Before translating, read the existing zh-TW JSON files to learn the established terminology:

airflow-core/src/airflow/ui/public/i18n/locales/zh-TW/

Use the translations found in these files as the authoritative glossary. When translating a term, check how it has been translated elsewhere in the locale to maintain consistency. If a term has not been translated yet, refer to the English source in en/ and apply the rules in this document.

Additional Terminology

Use the following established translations in the Airflow UI:

• Triggerer → 觸發者
• trigger → 觸發器
• partition → 分區

Ensure these terms are used consistently across the locale.
