[Localization] Dear Qt Team, I would like to contribute the translation of "Chinese (Taiwan)" to Qt/QtCreator.

No need to create JIRA issues if you are creating a patch anyway.

If you want to adapt a specific term that is used at many places to something else, I would suggest doing a single patch for changing that term at all these places.

If you want to adapt multiple terms that each are not used at that many places, it is possible to put multiple into one patch, e.g.

"zh_TW translation fixes

- change X to Y
- fix missing full stops
- ..."

Otherwise I would suggest doing/updating larger sections of translations, for example "Update zh_TW translation of QtC::Core"

Br, Eike
