It seems the translator didn't understand and/or ignored the font scoring
strings.  Many other translators have as well, which is why I've brough
thte subject up.  We should try to make these scoring strings useful. :)

The strings, in many cases, should not be translated to the original
input string.  (i.e., "QX" and "qx" should be Traditional Chinese characters,
although "QY" and "qy" should remain, for users who wish to type ASCII
characters, such for as for typing in English.)

I'm not sure what characters are used for punctuation in Traditional Chinese,
but assuming they are not (_completely_) the same as in English, then those
strings should be translated, as well.
