These changes will get overwritten any time there is a new localization patch from the translations team. These changes need to be made to the localization team's internal process I believe

I forwarded it to the localization team (Bug 56032525 for MS internal tracking). These choices seem stylistic to me (a non-localization expert without any experience with any of the languages involved). Given that, the localization team may not accept them as they may have internal guidelines governing these choices.

This seems like a mistake (and the one below and one in the zh-TW file). I can't imagine that using English here is correct.

Using bing translation, the current translation might be literally "face", like the part of a human being containing the eyes, nose and mouth. It suggests that 字体, 字样, or 字面 might be better fits for "typeface". yao-msft might be able to weigh in.

I think it should be translated as "字体样式" (or "字样"), but I don't have the context to know where they appear, and there's another Face in the file (line 3157), so I'm using the original English.
In any case, "脸" is definitely an incorrect translation.
In the zh-TW translation, it is translated as "表情" in one place (line 3150), but I think this is also incorrect based on the <comment>.

Change pushed.

Edit:

It suggests that 字体, 字样, or 字面 might be better fits for "typeface".

  • 字面
    "字面" is a word I've rarely encountered, and I'm under the impression that it's not a word (Or it's the first half of a word "字面意思") - 释义
  • 字体
    "字体" == "font" - 释义

zh-CN:
家庭 -> 字体集
Face(s), 脸 -> 字体样式
尽可能禁止 -> 尽可能不

zh-TW:
家庭 -> 字體集 / 字型集
脸, 表情, Face(s) -> 字體樣式 / 字型樣式

Yes, but if those comments are programmatically consumed they didn't complain at us. It would need to be fixed in: /src/AppInstallerCLIPackage/Shared/Strings/en-us/winget.resw
