How to add a product in only one language

I added two languages: English and Chinese.
English is the frontend and Chinese is the admin backend.

When I add product information, it has to be filled in both languages.

Is there any way to fill in only English?

Uninstalling Chinese will make me dyslexic in the admin backend and my English is very poor.

It has one more problem so that it will not be possible to add information such as products and categories.

That is, after I hide (disable) a certain language, I find that adding products, categories, images, etc. doesn't work.

Okay .. read the message again.
The solution I gave you will hide all fields associated with the disabled language.
Which means also, it is no longer available.

But what cofuse me totally is this here:
English is the frontend and Chinese is the admin backend.
and
my English is very poor
So, what do yo u want to achieve?
As fas as I read this (and understand), you will have a webshop and 2 languages (English & Chinese).
But you are not good in English, so what for do you need English?
And if your English is poor, how will you write the product descriptions?

Back to your "problem": it is not possible to have one language only in the backend and one only (or more) in the frontend (=shop).
Not with the standard installation or common extensions.
What do you need a is an individual extension, but that will cost you money.

Or, what you could do (and that is the simpliest way of all and will cost you nothing when you do it by yourself):

1. enable English per default (do not install any other language or if already done, delete them)
2. simply copy the backend language files from the Chinese package (the whole folder) into the en-gb folder

Doing so, will have English in the shop, but Chinese in the backend.
