My 2 cents, i haven't worked on the translations but i too have a similar requirement, so had been reading through the workbench docs.
Have you looked at the translation workbench? you can enable chinese for your organization and can manually translate object names / field names to chinese, so that the entire setup can be displayed in chinese for chinese users.
