Thanks to Rimas and Christian for clearing this up.  I didn't look farther than the users list on 
the page I found.

Additionally, and just to add to the confusion, the list is indexed as ZH-HAN in the list of 
local lists.
Do you have a URL at hand? If it is listed as chinese, then it is a
mistake, as it is not chinese. - ant it should be hans and hant - not
just "han"
You're right, it is hans.  Or rather, zh-hans, and I have always associated zh with different 
forms of Chinese.  The information is in Chinese.

http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Local_Mailing_Lists/zh-hans

zh-Hans is the code for *simplified* Chinese, unlike zh-CN, which is technically a code for 
Chinese *as spoken in China*. It's a subtle difference, and Hans/Hant codes are relatively new, 
and not as popular as the legacy zh-CN and zh-TW codes.

So are we going to see more of zh-hans and zh-hant in the world (not just at LibO and TDF) as new 
abbreviations for simplified and traditional Chinese?  And BTW, having now seen the explanation, it 
would appear that the han part of hans and hant is indeed a reference to the han Chinese.
