This is really a big cultural difference, and I think there's a need of clarification on why the system designer put "AD" here.
Thanks for your note, I think it reasonable. Since we Japanese have a similar problem between "Heisei" and so-called "Western calendar". Edir wars around this issue occured, as well.
Therefore, the designer just wanted to make it clearer that "Don't fill
in
the number of year of Republic of China, but 19xx or 20xx". I don't
think
there was any intention to cause a lift of debates.
Reasonable solution.
- Can we leave it for Chinese version (and other language version
which need a similar remark) and remove the remark from the lest? 2) Or pulldown menu beginning from 1900 can solve the problem also for East-Asian people like us?

I will discuss with Littlebtc this evening. We discussed a little last night, and we think a pull down menu would be a better solution.
Thanks for all the comments. We have collected them and we will modify the system as soon as possible.
