I'm sure translations would be much appreciated. Ales (who runs the
wiki) is busy / away at the moment, however I'm sure he'll eventually
get back to you regarding how this might be done.

Are you familiar with translating strings in internationalised apps? I
just looked at languages available for gschem:

de_DE.po  es_ES.po  fr_FR.po  it_IT.po  ja_JP.po  nl_NL.po  pt_BR.po
ru.po

It appears that Chinese isn't there. gschem is translatable, gattrib and
PCB (as far as I know) aren't. If you wanted to contribute translations
for gschem, that would be appreciated too!

(I've considered asking some Chinese friends where I work to help me out
with this.. I might even be able to find people to help with Polish,
Korean and a few others.., but I guess there would want to be a demand
from users first).

Best wishes,
