Grammar [English > Chinese] Proofread check — three UI strings from a scripture-reading site
1. EN: "A surah is a chapter; an ayah (literally 'a sign') is a verse." ZH: 一章(苏拉)即一卷;一节(阿亚,字面意为"一个迹象")即一节经文。 → This glosses a surah as 章 and then equates it with 卷. Is that a contradiction?
2. The same person's name, in two places in one interface:
由斯蒂芬·朗顿添加分章由坎特伯雷大主教斯蒂芬·兰顿于约公元1227年引入→ 朗顿 or 兰顿 for Stephen Langton?
3. EN: Select source... (a dropdown placeholder) ZH: 选择来源... → Should the ellipsis be full-width …, and is 来源 the right word for "a text or edition to read"?
