Bug Description
man -l /usr/share/
The zh_CN version of gpasswd(1) not only is partially done, but also contains an error in the first sentence. The translator confused the verb "administer" with the person "administrator." The section heading, originally "Notes (noun) about group passwords," was translated as "Please note (verb) the group passwords." Even Google translate does better!
Translation errors
==================
gpasswd - administer /etc/group and /etc/gshadow
gpasswd - 管理员 /etc/group 和 /etc/gshadow
^^^^^^ 管理员 -- administrator
管理 -- administer
Notes about group passwords
请注意组密码
^^^^^^ 请注意…… -- please note (v.)
关于……的说明 -- notes (n.) about
Typos
=====
-h, --help
Display help message and exit.
-h, --help
现实帮助信息并退出。
^^^^ 显示 Xiǎnshì -- display
现实 Xiànshí -- reality
Correct Google translate results (this but unironically)
=======
"gpasswd - administer /etc/group and /etc/gshadow"
"gpasswd - 管理 /etc/group 和 /etc/gshadow"
"Notes about group passwords"
"关于组密码的说明"
"Display help message and exit."
"显示帮助消息并退出。"

Would you mind comparing this to the new version at
https:/ /github. com/shadow- maint/shadow/ blob/master/ po/zh_CN. po
? I looked for the 'administrator' one, and that seems fixed. Any other updates you have which you could post as pull requests against the upstream project would be greatly appreciated.
