Chinese-localize what!!! BIOS?? What you mean is that CMOS setup program, right?? That actually isn't the BIOS,
but the BIOS setup program.
At the present stage, impossible!!!! The memory needed by a Chinese character support system (260K), and a simplified system (with only font bitmaps)
needs 100K. The FLASH chip for BIOS setup is only 1M (I've heard there are 2M ones, but haven't seen them). The BIOS setup itself
needs 800K~1M, so the space left for developers is too small.
Even top-level developers would find it hard to do.
This kind of thing needs to call memory. Before this, the BIOS has already started, and the memory is already powered on. But the amount
the system can use is too little. So Chinese-localizing it would require the BIOS setup program. It's not impossible, but it would need
hardware manufacturers (such as Lenovo in China) to develop it.
This isn't a project we can develop on our own (for example, adding a hardware module would do it).
But honestly, the meaning isn't that great. There is only that little bit of text content in BIOS setup. Making a hardware module to Chinese-localize
it would increase motherboard cost. Not worth the loss!!!
