Description of the proposed changes

Based on the US version, 330 untranslated items were identified by comparing the keys against the CN version.
I have completed the Simplified Chinese translation for all the new content in accordance with guideline.md, and I also wrote a small Python tool to quickly compare key differences.
Here is the record of this translation:only_in_US.txt

Testing done on the proposed changes

The translated files were packaged into loc.nx2, and the translated content was successfully loaded by running the game.

e17f36aa1664b355ba6a5d75f1c20541

Additional context

By comparing the tools, I discovered some additional text in the CN version. I am sharing this with community contributors to evaluate its significance; with proper guidance, I will assist the team in organizing this extra content.
This includes story dialogue, the Steam UI, certain units, map names, and more:
only_in_CN.txt
If necessary, I can open a separate issue to handle these items.

About script

I wasn't sure if this belonged in the loc directory, as I’ve observed the community distributing guidelines alongside the package. I placed it here because I wrote a simple comparison script that relies on the directory structure; the community can decide whether to keep or remove this diff.py.
I am also providing a copy as a backup:diff.py

Content without Keys

I noticed that the "Options" menu and other controls outside the game itself remain in English; these do not appear to be listed in strings_db.lua, so I look forward to the community addressing this.

If there are any issues, I will respond and make revisions immediately.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to ec752

The localization updates are likely usable, but the included comparison utility currently fails in documented repository-root usage and can overwrite one of its two result files, losing part of the comparison. Merge should wait for these bounded script issues to be fixed or explicitly accepted.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Resolve language IDs relative to the loc directory.

resolve_path("CN") returns CN/strings_db.lua. This path fails when the command runs from the repository root. The runtime database path is loc/CN/strings_db.lua.

Resolve ID arguments from Path(__file__).parent so the documented ID mode does not depend on the current working directory.

Proposed fix
 def resolve_path(arg):
     if arg.lower().endswith('.lua'):
         return Path(arg)
-    else:
-        return Path(arg) / 'strings_db.lua'
+    return Path(__file__).parent / arg / 'strings_db.lua'

Generate distinct output filenames for two strings_db.lua inputs.

The documented file mode commonly compares loc/US/strings_db.lua with loc/CN/strings_db.lua. Both stems are strings_db, so out1 and out2 are the same path. The second write truncates the first result, and one key difference set is lost.

Include a stable source identifier, such as each parent directory name, in both output filenames.
