These values are included in the PO file. If your translation file is present upon first install – then it should store the translated values. Can someone check this? This will change, it’s not ideal.
Dreamcolour, may I know if your translation is into Simplified Chinese or Traditional Chinese? It is best to identify it as in HK/Taiwan, they both use Traditional Chinese.

I already done chinese translation. How to edit the https://codex.buddypress.org/translations/ page to add the link?
fight4life – it’s not a good idea to translate the source – as the source will change over time.
Sorry, but the official german translation is on the way, we at buddypress.de have only waited for the implementation of load_textdomain, which enable to load the localization. Be patient!
Die deutsche offizielle Ãœbersetzung kommt, wir (buddypress.de) hatten nur noch darauf gewartet, dass BuddyPress die passende Funktion bekommmt, dass es Sprachdateien laden kann. Bitte noch etwas gedulden.
I have nearly translated the whole thing….
My test site is running at meebo.bplaced.net!
I will switch to another domain tommorrow!
Be patient 
Translation is done in the the source and not via a language file…
