Description
In the latest Minecraft Preview Edition version 26.50.20, Simplified Chinese localization has many translation errors, awkward word order, redundant wording and stiff machine-generated phrasing, mainly found in the Inbox and new Storage UI. Incorrect text confuses Chinese players and severely degrades interface usability.
Reproduction Steps
Launch Minecraft Bedrock Edition and update client to version 26.50.20.
Set in-game language to Simplified Chinese.
Open the Inbox on the main menu and check text of the feedback button.
Enter the new Storage screen, view storage usage description and cache clearing button text.
Review all displayed UI text.
Observed Result
The feedback button inside Inbox is mistranslated as "insect";
Storage capacity lines include the redundant Chinese measure word "gè", shown as , which violates standard technical writing norms in Chinese;
Used *g gè, total *g gèThe "Clear" cache button is mistranslated as "sunny"; Many other UI sentences are verbose and mechanically translated with poor readability.
Expected Result
Rewrite Inbox button text to proper wording like "Submit feedback";
Remove the redundant measure word "gè" from storage capacity descriptions, adopt standard technical phrasing;
Rename the cache button to "Clear cache" / "Clear"; Revise wording and sentence structure across Simplified Chinese localization to eliminate rigid machine translation and match reading habits of Chinese players.
Tested on Windows 11, vanilla game without any custom resource packs or mods, all wrong texts come from official localization files.

Yes. Even that problem that "Clear" cache button was mistranslated as "sunny" affected in the 26.40 release version.
They didn't fix the translation error, so they put it directly into the official version.Moreover, the translation of traditional Chinese and other languages is correct.Only Chinese is translated for sunny days.
