Indeed.

Just took a look at those two files. Here're some of my thoughts:

1) About the guides.txt:

We better off use Chinese ones as Chinese is our target language.  One
exception is for the quotes.  I just found Chinese quotes shown in files
were not so neat or comfortable.  And also, a lot of words quoted by
single quotes are Vim's option names, which are tags that can be
referenced.

Bottom Line: Use Chinese ones as possible, except for quotes.
(I know it's not that consistent but "It's a good compromise".)

2) About the dict.txt:

I'd like to translate 'column' to '列'.


Just my 2 cents.  Let's see our teammates' insights.
