The more general ticket seems to be #2912, add an unsupported language.
A more general case re the translation bar is described in #3730 (merged with #2912). It's not just Chinese - it seems to be any language that doesn't have a messages.xml file.
I assume this is what the documentation is referring to, at least in part:
https://www.accesstomemory.org/en/docs/2.1/user-manual/administer/settings/#add-remove-languages
"If a user selects a language that is not currently supported (i.e., where the content has not yet been translated through Transifex), AtoM will refresh the settings screen without implementing any changes."

Ahh, thanks for finding that, Tim. I'm going to copy your comments where relevant to #2912, and mark this ticket as a duplicate as well.
