## Description

This project provides a toolset for extracting, translating, and patching binary resources to localize the MobaXterm terminal and network client interface into Simplified Chinese. It functions as a Chinese language pack and runtime resource patcher, applying translated string tables and layout adjustments to UI controls during application startup without modifying the core binary.

The localization covers the full interface, including menus, dialogs, prompts, tooltips, and the UI of remote network tools such as SSH, RDP, VNC, and FTP. To ensure Chinese text displays correctly without truncation or overlap, the project also adjusts control coordinates and sizes in resource definitions, refining spacing and sizing for better visual alignment.

The toolset works by extracting and decompiling embedded resource files from the application binary, mapping original English UI strings to Chinese translations using a predefined key-value lookup table, and injecting localized text into tooltips and command prompts. Translations are organized into separate patch modules that can be applied independently to different UI sections.
