Summary

Adds a Simplified Chinese translation of the project README as README.zh-CN.md, and adds a language switcher line to the top of both READMEs so readers can move between languages.

The translation is hand-crafted by a developer, not machine-translated — technical terms use idiomatic Chinese conventions (e.g. 规范驱动开发 for Spec-Driven Development, 扩展/预设/捆绑包 for extensions/presets/bundles, 绿地/棕地 for greenfield/brownfield), and the prose is rewritten to read naturally rather than word-for-word.

What changed

  • New file README.zh-CN.md — full Chinese translation, structurally 1:1 with the English README.
  • README.md — added a small English · 简体中文 language switcher under the badges.

What was preserved unchanged

  • All code blocks, CLI commands, and slash-command names (e.g. /speckit.specify)
  • Example prompts inside code fences (left in English, as they are literal inputs)
  • Badges, image paths, and all links
  • Table structure and note/callout blocks

Verification

  • markdownlint-cli2 passes on both files using the repo's .markdownlint-cli2.jsonc config (0 issues).
  • Table of Contents anchors updated to match the translated headings.

Happy to adjust terminology or wording to match any project preference for localization.

Add README.zh-CN.md with a hand-crafted (non-machine) Chinese
translation of the project README, and add a language switcher
link at the top of both README files.

Code blocks, command names, badges, and links are kept identical to
the English source; only prose is translated.
