Hong Kong Chinese Translation for Minecolonies
I found this Mincolonies needs a HONG KONG Chinese translation. This app is a game, which @reggaemuffin asked for translator, and therefore I am responding that that call.
The is one file needing HONG KONG Chinese translation, and I completed that to 100%, which is 510 strings.
It turns out quite long and very lengthy. But I do not know what is the requirement of Utopian moderators so I spent quite a few hours completing it to 100% which I believe is dedicated work from my part.

The Translation Process
During the translation, it was quite tough. You need to think in the context of the game. For eg. the word 'field' is a farmer's field and not the 'field' used in the computer.
Or the word 'mine' is not the English word my, but it is related to mining.
For some of the words, I had to look it up because there are some slangs, such as Gotcha and Groovy and there are no direct literal translation, so I had to think of appropriate words to translate the meaning of this.
The left hand column shows all the strings needing translation.
There are 10 pages each having 50 strings.
After translating, the bullet points all turned to green
Some example of my translation

I think this is going to be fun game to play. It is mining ore to build houses for settlement. It is actually very interesting.
Should be interesting to know how this turns out when it is completed.
This is why I participated to this urgent call to get this translation finished tonight.
Hope you like it.

Thank you for your translation :)
It is fun to do game translation, though it takes a long time to go thru each of the 500 strings, a little bit too long to do in one evening. Anyway, thanks for your upvoting.
