  2. Not 向 向下移动焦点, it should be 向下移动焦点
  3. Not 向 竖起大拇指移动焦点, it should be 向上移动焦点
  4. Not 打开设置。。。, it should be 打开设置

Thanks for the feedback! I've posted similar localization defects in #9328. Could you also organize these recommendation like that? It could be really helpful for us.

@skyline75489 Sorry, where can I get the key values like Globals_LaunchModeMaximized.Content?

Those strings are inside the source code of the terminal repo. If you can't find them, don't worry about it. I can fill up a table later.

In English, those resources can be found here: https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/blob/main/src/cascadia/TerminalSettingsModel/Resources/en-US/Resources.resw. I think the translations get patched in later, so the chinese versions aren't anywhere in the repo.

Looks like these are mostly just translations for various different actions, so that's not totally unexpected. @DHowett should we just combine these with the rest in #9328?

The wrong translation of "密钥" is already mentioned in #9328 .

<html>
Key Recommandation Comment
ResetFontSizeCommandKey Change the translation of "font size" to "字体大小" "字号" is not a wrong translation, but not so accurate
DirectionUp not "竖起大拇指"
DirectionDown  not "向下", otherwise there will be two duplicate "向"
OpenSettingsUICommandKey Don't translate "..." or translate it to "......"  In simplified Chinese, the ellipsis is "......" (why ellipsis?)

The internal workitem (MSFT-32515306) associated with #9328 is closed. Maybe we need a new one?

You know what, how about I just double check the localization things when 1.9 is out, to avoid the fragmented reports regarding localization issues. Is it OK with you @JingHuaMan ? Thanks again for catching these.

@skyline75489 You should be selfhosting 1.9 if you go to the store and update -- can you check your strings? 😄

@DHowett I've received the 1.9 selfhost version and looks like most of my strings are better localized (don't really wanna brag but it is a lot better now). I'll double-check and file another issue to supersede this later. Let's squash those localization bugs before 2.0 😄

My Windows Terminal still use "密钥" represent key rather than "热键", does this issue already fixed?

Windows Terminal version: 1.11.2921.0, from Microsft store
OS version: Windows 10 21H1(19043.1288).
