As a Chinese, I consider “（tai）排” is a suitable name for typst. In Chinese, 排 (Pai) means typsetting or typography, while the sound “tai” could relate to the metal titanium, which feels rigid, stable, and sci-fi. While putting Tai and Pie together, the pronunciation sounds like Typ and also links that with the characteristic of Typst. Although our Chinese community is still deciding on a name, and we have already had numerous conversations in this QQ group: QQ群, I personally believe that 钛排 or 太排 is a good localisation of Typst in Chinese.
