You did translate the pages... but you have overwritten the English
ones!
Don't worry, your effort isn't lost, it is in the page history.

(I didn't have your email, so I couldn't come back to you).

When translating a given page ("News", for example), the french
translation is named "fr/News". For Chinese, the translated version is
probably* something like "zh_XX/News" (where XX would be the appropriate
variant).

The thing is that I don't have a clue on how to name those pages
(traditional/simplified or China/Hongkong/Taiwan ? is it
appropriate/possible to have a generic "zh" one?...).

I recommend following Debian website naming, if possible.
