Research direction

Start with the Chinese locale files zh_CN.po and zh_CN.mo, checking the msgid "Yes" mapping used by the workspace reload confirmation dialog. Correct the translation, regenerate the compiled .mo file, and reproduce the external test-file modification workflow in RIDE to verify the buttons display "是" and "否".

Description

Environment
  • OS: [Windows 11]
  • Python Version: [3.8.0]
  • RIDE Version: [v2.2.2]
  • wxPython Version: [4.2.2]
Issue Description

When a workspace modification is detected and the reload confirmation dialog appears, both the "Yes" and "No" buttons incorrectly display as "否" in the Chinese locale. This causes confusion for users.

Steps to Reproduce
  1. Open RIDE and load a project.
  2. Modify a test file externally (e.g., using Notepad or PyCharm).
  3. Switch back to RIDE. The reload confirmation dialog pops up.
  4. Observe the button labels: both show "否".
Expected Behavior

The left button should display "是" (Yes), and the right button should display "否" (No).

Actual Behavior

Both buttons display "否".

Fix Applied Locally

I manually corrected the translation mapping in the Chinese locale file (zh_CN.po / zh_CN.mo) to ensure msgid "Yes" correctly maps to msgstr "是". After recompiling the .mo file, the dialog displays correctly.
