Re: [Bug-wget] Translation error: to Chinese

Thanks for the report, sorry it took so long for me to respond.

Your assessment makes a good deal of sense to me. Unfortunately, we
can't make changes to translations ourselves: all of that is handled by
the Translation Project (translationproject.org). I've Cc'd the
appropriate language team for their consideration.
