I'm a Chinese user. The Wikipedia Chinese edition you provide is mixed with different kinds of Chinese (Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese), and I'm not comfortable to see that.

There are different kinds of English, too. But they do not look very different. However, Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese look very different. Many Mainland Chinese users have difficulty understanding Traditional Chinese (They can understand it, of course, but need more effort.)
Could you please add a new feature, which we can call "Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese converter", to Kiwix? Lots of Chinese users will be glad to use that feature. Thanks!

    Hi. Thank you for your feedback. I agree with the problem. The solution probably will be to realease a version of zh.wikipedia.org in simple Chinese. But to do that this bug needs first to be fixed on Wikimedia server side:
