[Bf-docboard] Language code for Traditional Chinese

[Francesco Siddi]

Hello there,
thanks for your interest in adding a new translation. As Bastien mentioned, we are undergoing some changes in the way the documentation is handled. This is happening quite slowly, but there might be an update on this list very soon.

I recommend to wait with new translations until the new system has been evaluated.

Francesco

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! ;)

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.


Thanks you for your support, Ethan! :)

Is their any opinion from wiki site maintainers? Or I will think that might be a "yes" for my ZH-TW proposal.

I found there is a Language List dropbox in upper middle of blender wiki. Do I need to do anything to make "Chinese (Traditional)" listed too?

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

Hi everyone,

I am reading the "Translation_Guide" to see how can I contribute to my native language, Traditional Chinese or Chinese (Taiwan).

There is a paragraph about "Page Name" describing one should add language code between namespace and page name. I want to find out if my language is listed or not, and find there is a  List of ISO country/language codes link in "Reference" part. I have read the ISO 639-1 list, but found only "zh" is listed.

However, "zh" or "Chinese" here is a macrolanguage which covers strongly divergent dialects and closely related languages. 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.

In practice, we use "language_code-country_code/region_code" instead to represent languages in free software localization workflow (eg. fsf projects, GNOME, KDE, Ubuntu... and even blender itself). Simplified Chinese uses "zh_CN" while traditional Chinese uses "zh_TW".

I am wondering if I can use "ZH-TW" as my language code or not in blednerwiki translaiton? Does anyone know anything about this?

Thanks! :)
