[Bf-docboard] Language code for Traditional Chinese

[Bastien Montagne]

Adding ZH_TW is not an issue in theory. *But* we are about to switch 
completely how our manual is handled (like going to something more 
'offline', some sphinx doc), so I’m not sure starting a new translation 
just right now makes much sense… :/

Anyway, real web managers should know better here! ;)
