+# This is the first occurance of "mage" in this po file.
+# Two options I have so far:
+# 1. Magician (sounds weird and low class to Chinese -- like street performers)
+# 2. Taoist (Sounds religious, but easily understood by Chinese to be fighters 
of evil spirits)
+# To make it less "religious", I add Wesnoth, hence "Wesnoth Taoist".
+# (Hence "home of many mages" translated to "home of Wesnoth Taoists")
+# ********************************************************
+# What Chinese film producers think of "Taoist"
+# ********************************************************
+# In many Hong Kong/Taiwan movies,
+# 1. Taoist in ghost movies ward off evils spirits, like that of White Mages.
+# 2. In non-ghost, Kung Fu movies, Taoist possess great, destructive powers 
(full of pyro-technic explosive effects), like red-mages.
+# (They however, do not have much on Teleportation. Perhaps difficult to film 
and not probably interesting. Many Taoist, hovever, can fly though. Wonder if 
they can be interpolate to mean teleportation or not.)
+# Note: Many Chinese Kung Fu movies (non-mythological) based their works on 
the philosophy coined by a famous writer called Jin Yung. Much like many 
Medivial Characters stem from "Dungeons & Dragons", many Chinese philosophical 
characters stem from his works (while many other mythological characters like 
Dragons, stem from Chinese myths).

+# Note: To be consistent with the respectful attitude Kaylan have for Konrad, 
the word "Konrad" is translated with only the word "Kong" followed by "Jun" (a 
word used by Chinese to mean gentleman, but in this context, a respectful 
address from a subordinate to his/her Lord and King when addressing the 
superior's name.)

 msgid "Thank you, sir. But how shall I best use these horsemen? How do they

-msgstr ""
+msgstr "多谢爵士. 但马兵要何用才益? 他们与精灵何异?"
 
+# This is the first occurance of the word "Lawful" in Wesnoth context.
+# There is a direct translation "he fa". But in Chinese, this applies to 
people who obeys the law.
+# It is contextually wrong for Wesnoth. Hence I attempts to coin a term 
(perhaps can be patented for Wesnoth): "Shun Yang Zhe". This is an extract from 
the Taoist theory of "Ying and Yang" well known among Chinese.
+# (I am sure we will become a laughing stock if I translate "Lawful" into one 
who obeys Law and "Chaotic" into one who disobey Law. Reason: This is a game 
involving war. Civil law does not apply. In Wesnoth, even "Chaotic" has the 
rights to win and stay in the territory, like the Dark Hordes.)
+# Hence I recommend: "Lawful" = "Shun Yang Zhe", "Chaotic" = "Shun Ying Zhe", 
"Neutral" = "Ying Yang He Zhe". I think most Chinese will like these terms. 
Reason: One with "Ying Yang" balanced has no problem with day or night. 
(Exactly what a neutral unit is). A "Shun Yang Zhe" (Literally one who favours 
"Yang" (Transliterate: "Sun", day) will like day and same goes for "Shun Ying 
Zhe" (One who favours "Ying" (transliterate: darkness, night) ) will favour 
night more!

usually acknowledge. But horsemen are powerful in a different way. They have no 
long range attack, but can charge into combat, inflicting double normal damage,

better at day, and worse at night. Horsemen are unmatched on open land, though 
Elves will serve you better in rugged terrain."
