Hi tchuang,
  It's very cool to see zh_TW translation.
I am a programmer, and I live in Taiwan.
It's always good to see programs been translated into my mother tongue.
I just took a look of the po file and have some feedback as the following.
And the attached file is the patch file.

 #. TRANSLATORS: details about the update, the ongoing state of the update

+msgstr "狀態"

I believe here the 'state' is here more likely the word 'status' but
not 'province' or State of 'United States'.

+msgstr "已經有個相同名稱的套件存在了,您是否希望將覆蓋此套件?"

In Chinese, when 'overwrite' (覆蓋) is used as a verb, I think it should
put in front of object.

Actually, I think 轉返 is correct as well in literal, but I just think
it's kind of strange here.
I never hear Taiwanese people use this way.
Is there any words can describe the word 'rollback' better in Chinese?
I think the follow three words '回溯/返回/回復' are more likely the word
'rollback' in English.

'Set' in Taiwan is more often translate as '設定' but not '設置'
