Re: Re: [libreoffice-l10n] LibreOffice in Chinese (China)

Dear all,

I'm sorry that I didn't pay as much attention to the mailing list as to the
wiki.

In terms of experience, I recommend Aron Xu, who has contributed a lot to
the open-source community, as the maintainer of the Simplified Chinese team
and its mailing lists.
I myself would prefer to be a 'helper', who can pay more time on his
favorite parts. :D
(I just registered on the pootle after Aron Xu told me about it during our
talk. Thanks, Aron!)

And on the language code issue, I can see 'zh-hans/t' (Simplified /
Traditional Han character) more and more often used now. (As it's included
in several w3c recommended files since 2003, to prevent confusion or
dispute.)
The only (and deadly) imperfection I can see is its compatibility issue with
environments that only accept 'zh-CN/TW'.
So I insist on using 'zh-hans/t' at least in documentation.
(I can remember that Drupal, TDF's future CMS, is using this tag.)

(References: RFC 4646; ISO 15924; W3C i18n QA-CSS-lang)

Best wishes,
Dean (via my Android)

Yes there is already a zh-hans item on that page. I'm not sure whether
we'd change it to zh_CN, because in glibc our language code is zh_CN,
and Mozilla use zh-CN. "zh-hans" is the non-official form to express
the combination of zh_CN and zh_SC, similarly "zh-trans" is for zh_TW
and zh_HK.

I've talked with Dean Lee today, and we might want him to say about
his opinion here, :-)

@Lee:
What's your opinion about Chinese (China) translation of LO (language
code and coordinator role)?
