Translation of Open VSX Registry

I think Open VSX Registry is its name and cannot be directly translated 打开VSX注册表 in Chinese. Could it be directly translated into 应用商店 or 商店 which means Application Market in English?

@yiliang114 thank you for the discussion, I'm a little confused by the question, can you clarify?

I think Open VSX Registry is its name

That's correct, Open VSX Registry is it's name and should not be localized from what I understand.

Could it be directly translated into 应用商店 or 商店 which means Application Market in English?

Do you mean you'd like the name to be changed to Application Market in English? I don't believe this is desirable and translates well.

I mean there will be no change with the English name Open VSX Registry, but to simply modify its translation in Chinese.

Here I have two immature ideas:

1. 打开VSX注册表 amend to 商店 in core/i18n/nls.zh-cn.json. I think The Open of Open VSX Registry is more like the meaning of open-source, but if it is translated into 打开, it is more like a verb.
2. Or keep Open VSX Registry as same as it in English until Open VSX Registry has its own official Chinese name.

This is what I happened to give a little advice, if it doesn't feel good, please ignore it.

I understand now what you meant, the Open VSX Registry is being translated when it should in fact not be.
We do it correctly here:

theia/packages/vsx-registry/src/browser/vsx-extensions-search-bar.tsx

Line 44 in 5aeef6c

placeholder={nls.localize('theia/vsx-registry/searchPlaceholder', 'Search Extensions in {0}', 'Open VSX Registry')}

Yes, this is what I want to express.
