GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 757896
Unnecessary zh_hant/hans selection in Site Language
Last modified: 2018-03-26 10:36:13 UTC
I assume this bug applies to all Damned-Lies releases, so I am reporting this bug seen on l10n.gnome.org as general. In the user page, one can see two 简体中文 and two 繁体中文 selections. A quick dig on the webpage source shows those 4 selections: <option value="zh-hant">繁體中文</option> <option value="zh-tw">繁體中文</option> <option value="zh-cn">简体中文</option> <option value="zh-hans">简体中文</option> However, it's almost clear that nobody is translating the zh_Hans/Hant locale for damned lies, and those two selections only confuses the users (and give a barely translated website). I think it's time to get those removed. If we take a reasonable approximation that zh_Hant is almost zh_TW, and zh_Hans is almost zh_CN, symlinks can be used for compatibility for users who chose zh_Hans/hant at first. This is basically acceptable since the two zh_Hant locales are quite close to each other in wording, and few people use zh_SG (the other locale using zh_Hans script) compared to the enormous number of zh_CN users.
See https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=757867#c2 for some extended info on the script-vs-locale issue.
Apparently, this is fixed due to usage of recent version of the Django framework.
