What about the translations? On Fedora 26, most translations at the moment
are in

/usr/share/locale/zh_TW/

and very few are in /usr/share/locale/cmn/ 

I also wonder why only the "cmn" exists and not "cmn_TW" and "cmn_CN",
probably one would need to make a distinction between traditional and
simplified 
here as well. As there is no cmn_CN locale, this does not matter at the
moment but it might matter in future ...

Users of zh_TW and cmn_TW would probably want the same translations, so maybe
one of these folders should be a symlink to the other?
