No Chinese translation for OJE joseki explanation

Currently, none of the OGS Joseki Explorer (OJE) provides Chinese (simplified) translation for any of the joseki explanation as far as I am aware. I also can’t find a way to translate these OJE joseki explanations into Chinese on translate.online-go.com .

I saw a post mentioning that OJE pages are supposed to be auto-translated, but for simplified Chinese at least, joseki explanations are currently not being auto-translated. I tried to change my language settings to another non-English language, and the OJE joseki explanations are correctly translated as expected. So I suspect this is a simplified Chinese-specific issue.

As Chinese go terms are often pronounced very differently to their corresponding Japanese go terms, Chinese speakers, even with basic English skills, are generally not able to understand Japanese-loan terms in English easily without specifically rote-learning them beforehand. So it would be quite helpful to provide some kind of Chinese translations for those joseki explanations.

Is there a setting that allows user to turn on the translations for these OJE joseki explanations?

Many thanks

There isn’t a separate setting - so it appears that we didn’t put this in, or it broke.

I’ll dig in to see if I can find out.

(A keen clever person could possibly search up threads where this was discussed … that might shine light on previous thinking).
