Description

## Context

In the 11.1.1.1 release, with the UI language set to Simplified Chinese, the Time page shows `Ambient light sensor` and its unavailable-device tooltip in English when no sensor is detected.

I checked the current master branch before filing this: the three resource keys are already translated there, so I am **not reporting the missing release translations as an unresolved master bug**. Thank you for adding them. This is a suggestion to refine the terminology and phrasing, and include the translated strings in a future release.

## Suggested Simplified Chinese wording

File: `AutoDarkModeApp/Strings/zh-hans/Resources.resw`

| Key | Suggested value |
| --- | --- |
| `AmbientLightSensor` | 环境光传感器 |
| `AmbientLightSensor_ToolTip` | 根据环境光线亮度自动切换深色或浅色主题。 |
| `AmbientLightSensor_Unavailable_ToolTip` | 未检测到环境光传感器,因此此设备无法使用该功能。 |

Master currently uses “氛围光亮传感器” for the label and “氛围光传感器” in the unavailable tooltip. “环境光传感器” is a clearer, consistent description of an ambient-light sensor, while “氛围光” can suggest decorative/mood lighting. The suggested tooltip also states the detection result and its consequence directly.

I applied these strings locally in an unofficial personal preference patch: https://github.com/Tomclanc/AutoDarkMode-Personal-Patches . The patch is for my personal aesthetic/use preferences and explicitly recommends the original upstream app. This suggestion does not depend on adopting the other changes in that repository.

Research direction

Update the three resource keys in AutoDarkModeApp/Strings/zh-hans/Resources.resw using the suggested Simplified Chinese values. Start by checking those keys and then verify the Time page with Simplified Chinese selected and no ambient light sensor detected; the wording and tooltip should appear in Chinese and consistently describe the sensor and unavailable feature.
