Hi, Sorry to not have checked the zh_CN translation.
You are right. I checked the actual po file and the only two places that uses the string "Transparency" are in core-enums.c and in preferences-dialog.c. Both refers to "being filled with transparency" and not "transparency of a layer". So it does seem to be just a mistranslation. I'll try to retitle the bug. Sorry for my carelessness.
