Chinese Translation Correction: Translation consistency for "Team"

🔵 Translation Consistency Issue: Team Term Inconsistency

Problem Summary

The term “Team” is currently translated inconsistently across the UI as both:

• 小队
• 队伍

Although both are understandable in Chinese, they are used in different contexts and create terminology fragmentation in the UI.

This leads to:

• Inconsistent player-facing language across menus
• Reduced UI polish and professional localization quality
• Potential confusion in competitive/gameplay contexts where “Team” has a specific meaning

Current Inconsistencies Found

Location	Current Translation
Client:Main:StatisticsTeam	小队
Client:Main:PlayerOptionTeam	队伍
INI:Controls:PlayerOptionsPanel:lblTeam:Text	小队
INI:HotkeyCategories:Team	小队

---

Recommendation

Standardize all occurrences of Team → 队伍 (recommended for RTS / multiplayer UI consistency).

Rationale:

• 队伍 is more commonly used in multiplayer / RTS / competitive game contexts
• Better matches player expectation for grouping / faction / team-based systems
• More consistent with standard Chinese game localization conventions

---

Proposed Fix

Client:Main:StatisticsTeam=队伍
Client:Main:PlayerOptionTeam=队伍
INI:Controls:PlayerOptionsPanel:lblTeam:Text=队伍
INI:HotkeyCategories:Team=队伍

小队联盟 is a well-known translation that most RA2 players have been familiar with for more than 20 years

Overall, this is a valid concern. But the well-known translation of "Team Alliance", "小队联盟", must be kept.

Related information worth noticing:
In the official Chinese (Traditional) translation of Yuri's Revenge, they use 小队 for the team A/B/C/D while using 队/队伍 for the in-game team 1, 2, 3, ..., 9, 0 that can be set via keyboard.

You can't just ctrl+f find them then simply replace them. You should consider what it works like in game. Sometimes, translate into "小队(group)" make sense better.

For this situation, should we consider that, although “小队” has been used in the UI for so many years and players are used to it, most streamers and players actually use “队伍” in communication (video, stream, etc..)?

This is the kind of player communication we can commonly found in most of videos
