The Chinese (Simplfied) translation in PO file of FP.o website on 
transifex is '团结', which is virtually consistent to '
団結' in Japanese, '단결' in Korean partially in meanings and 
pronunciation, also '團結' in Chinese (Traditional) which should be the 
original source.

The translation is in zh_CN PO file for FP.o website, on Transifex.

^ FYI, in case Mo wants to put those "Unite"s into banner, sometime 
before the final design.
