Add a braille setting for Chinese word segmentation

[cary-rowen]

Link to issue number:

Fixes #20471

Summary of the issue:

Chinese word segmentation is always used with Chinese braille output tables.
Some users need to disable this behavior and let the selected braille table translate the original text directly.

Description of user facing changes:

A "Use Chinese word segmentation" checkbox has been added to the Braille settings category.

It is enabled by default to preserve the existing behavior and only affects Chinese braille output tables.
Context-sensitive help and User Guide documentation are included.

Description of developer facing changes:

There are no public API changes.

Description of development approach:

The change follows the conventions of existing Braille settings and preserves the current behavior by default.

Testing strategy:

Manual testing should cover the following:

• With a Chinese braille output table, confirm that word segmentation can be enabled and disabled.
• Confirm that changing the setting updates the braille output as expected.
• Confirm that the setting has no effect with non-Chinese braille output tables.
• Press F1 on the setting and confirm that the corresponding User Guide section opens.

Known issues with pull request:

None known.

HI cc @keyang556
Would you mind test this PR build?

[keyang556]

OK, I'll test it.

[keyang556]

Fixed, thank you.

[cary-rowen]

Thanks @keyang556

I don't know, if possible, off by default in zhtw table(or nvda language), but on by default in zhcn table?

User guide reads well

Based on the discussion in #20471, I plan to narrow the scope of #20642 as follows:

• Chinese word segmentation will be completely disabled for the zh-TW braille output table, restoring the behavior from before NVDA 2026.3.
• The new setting will apply to Mainland Chinese braille output tables and remain enabled by default, allowing users to disable it when needed.
• Spacing only at boundaries between Chinese text and Latin letters or numbers will remain out of scope for this PR. This is separate from Chinese word segmentation and should be considered in a separate issue, potentially at the braille table level.

I understand the suggestion to retain an override for zh-TW. However, I propose not to expose one because the issue reporter confirmed that Taiwanese users generally prefer no word separators and that an option is not needed for most users.

This keeps #20471 focused on restoring the expected zh-TW behavior while retaining user control for Mainland Chinese braille.

This version is great.

I think adding this sentence might clarify this setting better for users who do not need/use it.

Suggested change

	This setting controls how NVDA determines word boundaries when navigating by word.
	This setting controls how NVDA determines word boundaries when navigating by word.
	This affects how script languages without spaces break up text into words, sentences and paragraphs
