Hi @blader , following #163 (French) and #138 (Spanish), I built a Traditional
Chinese (Taiwan) localization of humanizer. Flagging it here for discoverability,
not to request a merge.

Repo: https://github.com/nagameTW/humanizer-zh-tw

You noted in both threads that you'd rather localized variants stay as separate
community repositories, so each language evolves without adding duplicate runtime
authorities to the core project. This one already fits that shape: standalone
repo, with blader/humanizer (MIT) attribution kept in the README and the skill.

What makes zh-TW an adaptation rather than a translation:

CJK punctuation protection as a core rule. Full-width marks stay full-width,
and quotation marks follow Taiwan's official standard (「」『』). Naive
Simplified-Chinese ports tend to break this.
A reworked dash rule. The English version bans em dashes outright, but the
full-width Chinese dash (——) is legitimate punctuation, so the rule flags
western-style misuse instead of banning the mark.
Chinese-specific patterns the English catalog doesn't cover: Simplified-Chinese
vocabulary leakage (with a mapping table), westernized punctuation, and
colon/semicolon/quotation-mark misuse. 46 patterns in total.

The v2.9.x mechanics are all preserved: the no-fabrication rule, voice
calibration, detection guidance, and the three invocation modes.

Feel free to close this the way you closed #163, as a policy note. I mostly
wanted Chinese-speaking users who land on the original repo to know a
Taiwan-localized option exists.
