Hello TypeScript team,
I encountered a confusing and potentially misleading translation in the Chinese (zh-CN) diagnostic message for error TS2561.
Current Chinese message:
对象字面量只能指定已知的属性,但“comprehensiveFilterTab”中不存在类型“PageState”。是否要写入 comprehensiveFilterList?
Original English message:
Object literal may only specify known properties, but 'comprehensiveFilterTab' does not exist in type 'PageState'. Did you mean to write 'comprehensiveFilterList'?
Issue:
The Chinese translation says:
“但‘comprehensiveFilterTab’中不存在类型‘PageState’”
which literally means “but type ‘PageState’ does not exist in ‘comprehensiveFilterTab’”.
This reverses the logical relationship and is grammatically incorrect, leading developers to misunderstand the error. It should convey that the property 'comprehensiveFilterTab' does not exist in the type 'PageState', not the other way around.
Suggested correction (Chinese):
对象字面量只能指定已知属性,但“comprehensiveFilterTab”在类型“PageState”中不存在。您是否想写“comprehensiveFilterList”?
This version preserves the original meaning and uses natural, unambiguous Chinese.
How to reproduce:
Run tsc --locale zh-CN on code that triggers TS2561, e.g.:
type PageState = { comprehensiveFilterList: string[] };
const state: PageState = { comprehensiveFilterTab: [] }; // TS2561
Thank you for your attention! Accurate error messages are crucial for non-English developers.
