  2. The word "询问" is in zh-hans, when changing the display variant into zh-hant variants ( zh-hant , zh-tw , zh-hk , zh-mo ), the text should be "詢問", but it didn't convert "询问" into "詢問,"

This is unlikely to be something that the Growth team can work on any time soon (cc @MMiller_WMF)

@Winston_Sung -- thank you for filing this task. The Growth team spends little time on improvements to Structured Discussions because the Editing team is working on their project, "discussion tools", which we believe is going to be a better way to communicate on wiki. I think it would be valuable to check whether these language issues exist in that feature. I'm CCing @ppelberg in case you notice anything.
