Hello,

First of all, thank you for developing and maintaining OpenModSim.
It is a very useful tool for Modbus-related development and testing.

I would like to suggest adding official Chinese translations to the software, specifically:

  • Simplified Chinese (zh_CN) 简体中文
  • Traditional Chinese (Taiwan, zh_TW) 繁體中文

Motivation

OpenModSim is widely used in industrial and Modbus-related environments, where a large number of users are Chinese-speaking engineers.
Providing Chinese UI translations would significantly improve usability and accessibility for these users.

Current status

Since OpenModSim is based on Qt and already uses the Qt translation system (.ts / .qm), adding additional languages should integrate well with the existing architecture.

I have already prepared complete translation files based on the current UI texts:

  • Simplified Chinese (zh_CN)
  • Traditional Chinese (zh_TW, Taiwan terminology)

The translations were generated and reviewed using standard Qt workflows and OpenCC (for accurate Traditional Chinese terminology).

Proposal

  • Add zh_CN and zh_TW as selectable UI languages
  • Include the corresponding .ts / .qm files in the project
  • Optionally enable automatic language selection based on system locale

I would be happy to:

  • Submit the translation files in the attachments.

Please let me know if you are interested, and what the preferred contribution process would be.

Thank you for your time and for your work on OpenModSim.
