Hi, and thanks for helping with this.

The wget developers don't/can't handle translation fixes, are completely
handled by the Chinese translation team at translationproject.org. The
translation project asks package maintainers not to make any changes to
the translations they provide, even when they're broken, so we do our
best to comply.

As it happens, the current version of the zh_CN translation (what will
be available in the next release of wget) has:

#. TRANSLATORS: "ETA" is English-centric, but this must
#. be short, ideally 3 chars.  Abbreviate if necessary.
#: src/progress.c:805
#, c-format
msgid "  eta %s"
msgstr " 估时 %s"

As you can see from the note to translators, the extremely long version
of that string that you noticed, wasn't appropriate, and would tend to
interfere with proper display.

For future reference, translation bugs should be reported to the
appropriate language team listed at
http://translationproject.org/team/index.html

The very latest version of wget translations (so you can check whether a
bug is already fixed) is always available at
http://translationproject.org/domain/wget.html
