Overhaul CHS Local

What does this pull request do?

Update CHS Localization

Additional Information

I apologize for the long delay in maintaining the Simplified Chinese localization. Due to internal team shifts and some personal matters, our localization has been stagnant for quite a while.

I still remember over a year ago when I first made the i18n efforts for this modpack; back then, I was fueled by immense passion. Although I was a novice with KubeJS at the time (I just noticed some rather "silly" KubeJS code I wrote back then), I poured my heart into doing my best. While that raw enthusiasm has naturally mellowed over time, my love for this project remains unchanged.

The good news is, we are back. We are committed to resuming the maintenance and delivering high-quality localizations moving forward.

There have been some substantial changes to createastral/en_us.json since this was opened, I would recommend reviewing those changes.

Translations aren't priority, and we want to release 2.1.5 rather soon, so if you think this would take a while, we can merge the translation as-is, and release an updated set for 2.1.6.

We have a smaller and stricter scope for 2.1.6, so it shouldn't contain so many en_us changes last-minute, and should also be released rather soon after 2.1.5 - also, apologies for the last-minute monolith of changes, we have an improved system in the works for this type of thing, so hopefully in the near future we can avoid this situation again.

Same as #683, I'll mark this as draft, if you believe it can be merged as-is, mark it as ready for review and I'll have a look over it.

Okay, I understand. I’d still prefer to get my two PRs processed as quickly as possible, but unfortunately I’ve been traveling for work lately and might not have time to work on them. Maybe I’ll get to them in a few days; I’ll let you know when I do.

If you want to release 2.1.5 as soon as possible, please keep up your pace and don’t let my PRs hold you back. It’s fine if these changes are saved for 2.1.6.

Also, if you’re really in a hurry to release 2.1.5, I’d suggest adding this resource pack first to provide Chinese translation support for some mods. This will be more convenient for Chinese players, and it won’t add much debugging or maintenance pressure.

Quick update, we're looking at two weeks at an absolute minimum until release of 2.1.5, since we can't release until then, due to one of the other developers being away for that time. Of course, it may be longer than that.

I have brought up the resource pack internally and there haven't been any objections, so I'll open a pull request soon to have it included in 2.1.5.

@nageih, I have accepted the pull request that adds the resource pack, however when attempting to launch the pack using packwiz, I get the following error:

This seems to be indicative that third-party downloads of the resource pack are prohibited, though do correct me if I'm wrong and CurseForge is being a pain.

If you wouldn't mind, we would appreciate allowing the resource pack to be downloaded via third-party launchers through the CurseForge options of the resource pack.

Alright, I’ve already updated the project settings on CurseForge. I really hadn’t noticed this option before.
