Add Traditional Chinese #245

Open Jenny-HT opened 4 years ago

Jenny-HT commented 4 years ago

Traditional Chinese is widely used in Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macau. To support Traditional Chinese, please adopt the IETF BCP 47 language tags.

Jenny-HT commented 4 years ago

I created a pull request #252 for adding the language of Chinese (Hong Kong).

Thank you for your input. I think we can collaborate on most of the contents. However, some of them will be different in Hong Kong and Taiwan, which I want to respect the readers from both places.

Hi! I'm the main author of the Simplified-Chinese translation in this repository.

Just want to mention that it's possible to convert zh-CN, zh-HK and zh-TW variants to each other automatically. The translation tables used by Chinese Wikipedia seem to handle the translations pretty well (see https://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:CST); alternatively, we can use OpenCC for it. Using the convertion tools can reduce the work a lot.

I can generate those variants automatically and put them in a separate PR, if needed.

As 'the mainland vocabulary is better than no vocabulary', I would say go right ahead.

Jenny-HT commented 3 years ago

I understand that there is a requirement of the translated items of an added language from another merge request. I will take reference of the Simplified Chinese and add as many translation as I can. I will also try not to upset my Hong Kong fellows as well. Thank you for your input. :)

It will be cool! :)

If you don't mind, can you open a PR in my forked repo instead?

I've done the conversion, and the changes can be previewed at https://github.com/fetlife/translations/compare/master...kmxz:master.

I would personally prefer to create a PR directly to the original repo, just for simplicity (as I'm putting the a few changes together, including adding zh-HK and zh-TW translations, renaming zh to zh-CN, reformatting, and catching up missing translations). You can always update the translations later.

But I'm definitely open to merging the changes into your forked repo first, if we have a good reason to do so.

Jenny-HT commented 3 years ago

In that case, I will check your repo asap and make any changes on your repo if I have any concern. In case you don't hear me back or you find yourself waiting too long, just feel free to proceed. :)

Jenny-HT commented 3 years ago

I started reviewing the changes from @kmxz today. I think it will take some time for me to complete it.
