Title:
  Poor translation of zh_CN gpasswd(1) man page

Status in Ubuntu Translations:
  New
Status in language-pack-zh-hans package in Ubuntu:

Status in shadow package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
  man -l /usr/share/man/zh_CN/man1/gpasswd.1.gz

  The zh_CN version of gpasswd(1) not only is partially done, but also
  contains an error in the first sentence. The translator confused the
  verb "administer" with the person "administrator." The section
  heading, originally "Notes (noun) about group passwords," was
  translated as "Please note (verb) the group passwords." Even Google
  translate does better!

  Translation errors
  ==================
  gpasswd - administer /etc/group and /etc/gshadow
  gpasswd - 管理员 /etc/group 和 /etc/gshadow
            ^^^^^^ 管理员 -- administrator
                   管理 -- administer

  Notes about group passwords
  请注意组密码
  ^^^^^^ 请注意…… -- please note (v.)
         关于……的说明 -- notes (n.) about

  Typos
  =====
  -h, --help
      Display help message and exit.

  -h, --help
      现实帮助信息并退出。
      ^^^^ 显示 Xiǎnshì -- display
           现实 Xiànshí -- reality

  Correct Google translate results (this but unironically)
  ========================================================
  "gpasswd - administer /etc/group and /etc/gshadow"
  "gpasswd - 管理 /etc/group 和 /etc/gshadow"

  "Notes about group passwords"
  "关于组密码的说明"

  "Display help message and exit."
  "显示帮助消息并退出。"
