[Bf-docboard] Language code for Traditional Chinese

[罗聪翼]

Hi Chia,

I highly agree that there should give a zh_tw language code for blenderwiki while there do only exist a zh_cn page( http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/ZH/Main_Page ). People in Hong Kong or Taiwan could read and understand simple Chinese but many culuture understanding will be more connivence in traditional Chinese. We have the zh_tw and zh_cn i18n translation (https://svn.blender.org/svnroot/bf-translations/branches/) for blender so it is also necessary to create a zh_tw page for blenderwiki.

Good job Chia and it is really happy to see someone would step out to support traditional Chinese!
Cheers,

For example, there are two main variant of Chinese characters styles for Mandarin (official dialect of Chinese), one is simplified Chinese used in China, and the other is traditional Chinese used in Taiwan and Hong Kong.
