IMHO the conversion to GB2312 and Big5 is no longer necessary as all modern systems can use UTF-8 quite well. Whether the release notes for zh_CN, zh_HK and zh_TW can be converged, I don't know. I can imagine that the vocabulary used in those regions may differ. Also, if you convert from simplified into traditional Chinese by script, make sure that someone proofreads the outcome before releasing it. zh_SG uses simplified Chinese btw, but the vocabulary may differ from zh_CN. Just my 2 NT$. Cheers Arne -- Arne Götje (高盛華) <a...@linux.org.tw> PGP/GnuPG key: 1024D/685D1E8C Fingerprint: 2056 F6B7 DEA8 B478 311F 1C34 6E9F D06E 685D 1E8C Key available at wwwkeys.pgp.net.
