Hello,
I posted this on commons-l a week ago to apparent deaf ears.
While browsing in my Special:Preferences today, I noticed that we
apparently support no less than five variants of Chinese:
zh
zh-cn (simplified, as used by the Chinese mainland)
zh-hk (Hong Kong, traditional)
zh-sg (Singapore, simplified)
zh-tw (Taiwan, traditional)
Is there a reason these codes have been set up as country codes rather
than, say, zh-hans and zh-hant? (Han Chinese, simplified/traditional -
these are codes that the Chinese translators on Commons have
favoured.)
Is there thought to be any distinction between zh-sg and zh-cn?
Can the 'automatic converter' thing that zh.wp has be turned on for
the Commons, so we can stop this unnecessary 'translation' between
scripts anyway? (And then we just offer "zh".)
cheers,
Brianna
