Conversation
The Simplified Chinese translations were inherited from Google's TalkBack, where the app is still called TalkBack, while the English source now says Backtalk. Update the display text to match. - Replace TalkBack/Talkback with Backtalk in the value text of the six values-zh-rCN files (218 lines). Resource names and @string references (talkback_label etc.) are lowercase and untouched. - Rewrite the TV training overview so Backtalk is the subject while Google's TalkBack stays as the origin: "Backtalk 是基于 Google 的 TalkBack 打造的屏幕阅读器". Deliberately left as TalkBack: - The two voice command strings that launch TalkBack settings (voice_commands_talkback_settings / voice_commands_talkback_setting), where the English source still says "TalkBack".
A few inherited translations were longer than the current English source, which had been shortened upstream, or mentioned the app name where the English source does not: - bd_ime_disabled_dialog_message: drop the app name, since the English just says "go to input settings to turn it on". - pref_category_context_menu_summary and pref_category_context_menu_summary_single_finger: keep only the gesture instructions, as in English. - title_pref_speech_footer: the English footer was reduced to the accessibility volume tip alone, so drop the stale speech rate paragraph. - title_pref_talkback_speech_rate: "语速", matching the plain "Speech rate".
The values-v33 and values-watch resource overlays have their own values-zh-rCN counterparts, which the initial sweep missed: the Android 13+ service intro and HTML description shown on the system accessibility settings page, and the watch-only service description and gesture-update notification. Replace TalkBack with Backtalk in both files (6 occurrences).

Summary
The Simplified Chinese translations were inherited from Google's TalkBack,
where the app is still called TalkBack, while the English source now says
Backtalk. This updates the display text to match:
Commit 1 — rebrand the display text (six values-zh-rCN files, 218 lines)
talkback module (strings.xml, compositor, keyboard tutorial, voice
commands) and the braille modules (brailledisplay, brailleime), which
all ship inside the same APK.
lowercase and intentionally untouched.
Google's TalkBack stays as the origin: "Backtalk 是基于 Google 的
TalkBack 打造的屏幕阅读器".
(voice_commands_talkback_settings / voice_commands_talkback_setting)
are deliberately left as-is, since the English source still says
"TalkBack" there.
Commit 2 — align a few strings with their English sources (5 lines)
A few inherited translations were longer than the current English source
(which had been shortened upstream) or mentioned the app name where the
English does not:
bd_ime_disabled_dialog_message: drop the app name, matching "go toinput settings to turn it on".
pref_category_context_menu_summaryandpref_category_context_menu_summary_single_finger: keep only thegesture instructions, as in English.
title_pref_speech_footer: the English footer was reduced to theaccessibility volume tip alone (upstream commit 9bcf0f5), so drop
the stale speech rate paragraph.
title_pref_talkback_speech_rate: "语速", matching the plain"Speech rate".
Commit 3 — rebrand the v33 and watch overlays (2 files, 6 occurrences)
The values-v33 and values-watch resource overlays have their own
values-zh-rCN counterparts, which the initial sweep missed: the
Android 13+ service intro and HTML description shown on the system
accessibility settings page, and the watch-only service description
and gesture-update notification.
Tested
no placeholder changes, so the lint baseline is unaffected.
pass — candidate entries were found by a scanner that pairs each
English string with its Simplified Chinese counterpart, the
replacement was case-sensitive and touched value text only, and every
changed line was verified to differ from the original by the brand
word alone (a character-level diff check). The author of this PR
reviewed the resulting diff before committing.

hardware), and the v33 / watch overlay strings (no Android 13+ device
and no watch). All of them are plain static text with no placeholders.
