Magento handles translations by default using a translate.csv file, so you should never edit the template files. Search the Magento Connect store for a Chinese language pack. After installing that, you can add any additional translations for our extensions.
All of our custom text is included with the theme in the following location, but is only relevant if your locale is set to English (US):
/app/design/frontend/THEME/default/locale/en_US/translate.csv
If your locale is set (for example) to GB, then rename the en_US folder to en_GB:
/app/design/frontend/THEME/default/locale/en_GB/translate.csv
You can add translations to this using the same format as seen in the file, for example:
"Original Text","Translated Text"
Be sure to use a simple text editor like notepad, as complex programs such as Excel sometimes add extra characters and can introduce errors. - STEP 1 IN MAGENTO DEVELOPMENT - DISABLE YOUR CACHE OR YOU WON'T SEE ANY CHANGES.

I am using Graffito for Magento 1.7 version. But I can't find the following directory and file
/app/design/frontend/graffito/default/locale/en_US/translate.csv
Then, I still create as follows
/app/design/frontend/graffito/default/locale/zh_TW/translate.csv
But failed. Please advise

The translate.csv file was accidentally left out of the 1.7 initial release, and added in the update that followed. I've attached the file you are missing.

So long as your store's locale is set to "zh_TW" then it should work. Be sure to clear the Magento cache after making changes. - STEP 1 IN MAGENTO DEVELOPMENT - DISABLE YOUR CACHE OR YOU WON'T SEE ANY CHANGES.

I have already added the following 2 files into the corresponding directory but still doesn't take any effect. Can you advise what I can do next?
app/design/frontend/graffito/locale/en_US/translate.csv
app/design/frontend/graffito/locale/zh_TW/translate.csv

- Is it having no effect, or showing garbled text?

- No effect. These two files cannot change any anything.

...and have you disabled your cache, re-indexed and made sure compilation is disabled? - STEP 1 IN MAGENTO DEVELOPMENT - DISABLE YOUR CACHE OR YOU WON'T SEE ANY CHANGES.

- Can you please post your translate.csv file here also? You'll need to zip it first.
