Hi Faith, there was effort in the past to translate EG to Chinese, but
I believe it languished.  See:

http://wiki.evergreen-ils.org/doku.php?id=evergreen-admin:customizations:chinese

It may be worth reaching out to Jason Zou and Grace Liu.  The good
news is that Evergreen was built with internationalization in mind,
but we don't know what we don't know, and a good bit of effort would
probably be needed to make it shine with Chinese.  It may be worth it,
though, if you'd like to help jump start that effort.  That's one of
the beautiful things about open source software and communities, that
you can get stuff done.
