Thanks for the note. I am working on this. > Thanks for the explanation. Nevertheless using an already translated > description into zh_TW as default template for zh_CN would be useful, > right? Same for pt and pt_BR. It would be useful, yes, but probably not for every translator. I personally like to compare with zh_TW translations when working on zh_CN ones, but I know some translators don't like the other script. The translation for zh_TW can't be used as is for zh_CN anyway, since the scripts are still different even both are using UTF-8, and conversion is required. As there is always political tension in such issues, I suggest not to implement sending zh_TW translation as the default template for zh_CN without discussion among zh_CN translators. I am not doing DDTP translation myself so I would rather not be involved. The Chinese DDTP translations doesn't seem very active now anyway. > Michael, could you implement this?
