Bug Description

When activating "Show lunar calendar" in the settings and switching back to month view or whatever (anything else but "Termine" in german version), the title and probably what should be the lunar phases are japanese symbols (at least they look like).
When deactivating, the title is shown correctly again. (i.e. in german)

When "Show lunar calendar" is activated, Calendar is getting strings from a 3rd-party js file [0]. But those are wrote in Chinese and not ready for translation. Strings there need to be translated to English and then marked for translation, so it can be ready for other languages.

IMHO,I would say that this feature enables a kind of conversion from the gregorian caldendar to the chinese one (based on solar and lunar cycles [1]). I guess text translation would not help unless someone except than chinese people needs to have information like, for instance, year of the dragon, rabbit or pig, same for month and day...
To avoid confusion, it would be interesting maybe :
- either to rename this option to "Display chinese calendar"
- or to develop a new feature like "Display/Show moon phases" 🌑 🌒 🌓 🌔 🌕 🌖 🌗 🌘 🌑, but that's another story 😊

Best regards
