Adjust tone and accuracy of “CHEATER!” localization
This PR updates the Chinese translation of the CHEATER! warning to better match the tone, intent, and style of the original English string.
Change
Before
After
Reasons
1. Align tone with the original English
The original string is simply:
It is a short, direct system warning.
The previous translation added an emotional exclamation (“我超！”), which does not exist in the source text and changes the tone from a neutral system warning into a slang-heavy emotional reaction.
2. Avoid slang and profanity in system UI
3. Improve localization consistency
Across the project, system warnings and dialogs generally avoid casual internet slang.
This change helps keep the UI tone consistent and professional.
4. Accuracy and fidelity to source text
The previous version added meaning that is not present in the English original.
This PR restores a closer semantic match to the source string.
Additional note
The previous translation felt overly casual and slang-heavy compared to the rest of the localization.
This adjustment keeps the message concise, direct, and appropriate for a system warning.
No functional changes — localization only.
