Fixes #4547

Problem

  • "Chinese" is ambiguous — it does not clarify which script/variant
  • "Taiwanese" is incorrect — it refers to Taiwanese Hokkien, not Standard Chinese written in Traditional script

Fix

Two string changes in bottles/backend/utils/manager.py:

Before After
_("Chinese") _("Chinese (Simplified)")
_("Taiwanese") _("Chinese (Traditional)")

Why this naming

This follows the established convention used by VS Code, LibreOffice, Windows, and most major software — distinguishing by script (Simplified vs Traditional) rather than geography or dialect.
