[Feature Request] Implement Android native Traditional Chinese (zh-TW) localization support

Is there an existing issue for this?

  • I have searched the existing issues

What feature are you suggesting?

Implement full Traditional Chinese (zh-TW) localization for the Azahar Android frontend.

Currently, src/android/app/src/main/res/values-b+zh+TW/strings.xml is empty (contains only <resources></resources>). As a result, Traditional Chinese users in Taiwan, Hong Kong, and across the globe currently fall back to the default English interface.

Why would this feature be useful?

Providing a complete, native Traditional Chinese translation will significantly improve the user experience and accessibility for hundreds of thousands of Traditional Chinese-speaking retro gaming and 3DS emulation enthusiasts.

Additional context

  • I have completed a 100% full translation (all 1,044 strings) adhering strictly to standard Android native resource conventions (src/android/app/src/main/res/values-b+zh+TW/strings.xml).
  • All XML entities, single/double quotes, and percentage formatting parameters (formatted="false", %%) have been thoroughly escaped and validated with an XML parser.
  • Standard Taiwan Traditional Chinese terminology has been used throughout (e.g., 專案, 程式碼, 儲存庫, 記憶體, 螢幕, 畫面幀率, 最佳化).
  • A clean branch with this addition is ready to be submitted as a Pull Request to azahar-emu/azahar:master.
