Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/ProxymanApp/Proxyman/issues/1416

Description

The app is localized in Chinese (Simplified), but many frequently-used feature translations are way off. To name a few:

Networking/Programming term (proper nouns, abbrs, and made-up words) should have retained their English name: Cookies (localized as 饼干, which literally means a type of snack), Protobuf (localized as 原型, which doesn't make sense at all), etc.
Common phrase that has a special meaning in computing/IT should have been translated in context: Map (which means a type of projection or at least one-way relationship in math and computing, is localized as 地图, which means a type of diagram or paper), etc.

Steps to Reproduce

Install Proxyman.
Optionally on non-Chinese systems, go to system Preferences > Language & Region, force Proxyman to launch with Chinese localization.
Launch Proxyman and proofread menus and buttons.

Current Behavior

Many things went wrong.

Expected Behavior

Proper localization.

Environment

App version: Proxyman 3.12.0
macOS version: macOS Ventura (13.0)

Hey @VaslD Sorry for the bad translation.

Some Chinese friends have contributed to the localized string at https://github.com/ProxymanApp/proxyman-localization

If you don't mind, please help me to fix some of them 👍
