All:

Can one of you guys tell me what the preferred locales for Chinese Simplified and Traditional are on Linux?

Simplified Chinese:

zh_CN.GB2312 zh_CN.GBK zh_CN.GB18030

Traditional Chinese (Taiwan)

zh_TW.Big5

Traditional Chinese (Hong Kong)

zh_HK.Big5-HKSCS

Also, have any of you seen msgfmt error indicating bad escape sequences when compiling these resources?

You mean gettext *.po / *.mo files? And you mean you get the error when making zh_TW.Big5 *.mo files with the latest versions of gettext? (0.10.36 or later versions)? :-)

(Someone posted a solution of the above, but I want to make sure the above is indeed the error you encountered before I go and try to dig up that e-mail message. :-)
