Wish I knew that myself. (Remember yesterday's mail exchange with the
maintainer of simplified Chinese? I'm CCing him, too.)
http://lcweb.loc.gov/standards/iso639-2/englangn.html only talks about
"Chinese" in general and suggests "zho" as terminological code. Only
proposal I came up with so far was to go for "zho_CN" for simplified
Chinese and "zho_TW" for traditional Chinese. Don't know if everybody
would be happy with such a mixing in of country issues, however.

As long as nobody comes up with an official 3-letter code we can hardly
be sure about that I guess.

Thomas

Thomas - what is the 3-letter code for zh_TW? I think, we should do the two
steps in one. We indeed should change the .desktop files (or add a crude hack
to kconfig for 2.2.1)
But then we don't want to change it again after 2.2.1 ;(
Greetings, Stephan

I already sent a msg to that effect to Waldo (see below). Most critical
point is that the "PluralForms" variable still wasn't set in kdelibs.po
despite a warning message to Kevin Lo and Kenduest Lee back on August 22.

I have to pass on that one.

Subject: Languages for 2.2.1
Hi,
This is mostly to confirm the list of 41 languages for the 2.2.1
release
I already posted to the mailing list this weekend. Changes compared to
2.2 are marked with (new).
Two important things regarding traditional Chinese (zh_TW.Big5):
* Just a few minutes ago one of the translators asked me again about
the notorious "PluralForms" variable in kdelibs.po and I explained it
for the n-th time. If they can't get around it within the next few
hours I will try and set it myself and notify you as soon as it is
done.
I hope it is possible for you to wait that long with the tagging?
* The same team (thankfully) changed their encoding to utf-8 now. But
Hans Petter Bieker and others tell me this could lead to conflicts
with existing i18n packages which had the old big5 encoding. So could
you please rename the language package from "zh_TW.Big5" to just
"zh_TW"? (This is what Coolo suggested although I'm not sure if it
wasn't safer to just rename the CVS directory.)
Regards,
Thomas

Hi,
I just received Thomas' mail about tagging of KDE 2.2.1.
The translations of traditional Chinese are almost done,
except kdelibs.po. We have contacted the translator of
kdelibs.po and hopefully he can finish it as soon as possible.
I emergently ask if it is possible to delay the tagging
for several hours? Thank you very much!
For the renaming issue,
I think at least two things have to be changed.
First, the directory name should be changed to zh_TW.
Second, the locale name in all .desktop should also
be changed to zh_TW, i.e.,
Name[zh_TW]=...
Comment[zh_TW]=...
...
Your help is very appreciated.
Best Regards,
