> zh_Hant = (zh_CN + zh_HK + zh_TW + zh_MO + zh_SG + Traditional Chinese +
> Others if want Traditional Chinese)

> the current locale could map to zh_Hans/zh_Hant:
> zh_CN = zh_Hans_CN
> cmn_CN = zh_Hans_CN
> wuu_CN = zh_Hans_CN
> zh_HK = zh_Hant_HK
> cmn_HK = zh_Hant_HK
> yue_HK = zh_Hant_HK
> zh_TW = zh_Hant_TW
> cmn-TW = zh_Hant_TW
> cmn_TW = zh_Hant_TW
> nan_TW = zh_Hant_TW
> hak_TW = zh_Hant_TW
> lzh_TW = zh_Hant_TW
