1. Login to system, navigate by Admin Center>Go to Picklists management> Import picklists;
1. All picklists new? NO.
2. Character encoding selected Simplified Chinese 2312.
2. Imported File header is configured like:
1. 
3. Read error message as:
1. "The import header is invalid. Import process is stopped. No locales specified in the header."

In Picklist import file, locale en_US is required (must-have column), which is by design.

In Picklist import file, locale en_US is required. Hence to aviod such error, please add column en_US before zh_CN and try importing again.

Note:

The picklist file you download from the system is in a CSV (Comma Separated Values) format. This is a very popular format for moving data between applications. It is important that you preserve this format. It is recommended that you use a text editor that supports UTF-8 formats to edit the file. By default, the file opens in a spreadsheet editor. (Getting Familiar with the Picklist File)
