Various UI elements display an incorrect Chinese language variant

Description

"阅读条目"(zh-CN & zh-HANS) is incorrect, "閱讀條目"(zh-TW & zh-HANT) is correct.

The popup menu after clicking a link shows a button with text of a wrong language variant. The correct translation(Chinese traditional) exists on translatewiki.net, but does not seem to be used by the local interface. My lanugage settings of the system and application are both zh-TW.

"点按展开"(zh-CN & zh-HANS) and "阅读更多"(zh-CN & zh-HANS) are both incorrect.

@LNDDYL I don't know that why you added a Ukrainian user...

LNDDYL raised the priority of this task from Medium to High.Jun 9 2017, 12:19 PM

@LNDDYL As changing priority is a sensitive action, and in most cases that should reflect reality and not just cause it, would you please explain that why this task is more urgent?

It shall be reverted, then.

One addition: https://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:互助客栈/技术/存档/2017年6月#.E4.BB.8B.E9.9D.A2.E7.BF.BB.E8.AD.AF told us that descriptions from Wikidata (in this example, "维基媒体消歧义页/維基媒體消歧義頁" lit. Wikimedia disambiguation page) are not converted to other variants, but I don't think that Wikidata itself must also add Language Converter support, 📦

@LNDDYL
Hi, I am looking at this issue. Could you please tell me the detail information of your device?

For example:
Occurring on: Android 7.1.1
Device: Pixel
Version: 2.5.192-alpha-2017-04-04

@ABorbaWMF

If you are looking for a patch to do the QA for this task, you can use the patch from other ticket: https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/377359/

This task seems has also been fixed on that patch.

@cooltey , thanks! I tried to test this a bit, but I don't know chinese :)

If it looks fixed to you, we can move it to sign-off.

(My new mobile phone)
Occurring on: Android 8.0.0
Device: Google Pixel
Version: 2.6.203-alpha-2017-10-13

The merged patch was about Chinese summary tags. Now this task was reopened. A problem with this task is that it is a "catch all" for any Chinese issues, as this task seems to cover several different issues.
Tasks need to be specific, and bug reporters must follow https://mediawiki.org/wiki/How_to_report_a_bug by providing 1) clear steps to reproduce, 2) actual outcome, 3) expected outcome. In separate sections. Otherwise it becomes very hard to understand what the described bug is.

@LNDDYL

Thanks for the following-up for this issue, but I am not able to reproduce the issue on the Main Page.

Did you setup your app level language setting or search language setting to zh-hant ?

No reply for months. Closing this task again as resolved - see previous comments and T163062#3685084.
If there is still some problem, please create a new and specific task and strictly follow https://mediawiki.org/wiki/How_to_report_a_bug - thanks!
