Comment:
Hello Lilian! Thank you for your ticket. I think there is definitely room
for improvement here, so I'm accepting the ticket on that basis.
A few notes on when I tried to reproduce:
* The command execution needs the `--locale` (or `-l`) param, otherwise I
wasn't able to reproduce. So:
{{{
$ python manage.py makemessages --locale zh-hans
invalid locale zh-hans, did you mean zh_HAns?
}}}
* Using `zh_HAns` did not return any error for me, instead it generated a
`locale/zh_HAns/LC_MESSAGES/django.po` file with the correct content.
* But surprisingly, I also typoed the command and ran `python manage.py
makemessages -l zh_HAns?` and it also generated a
`locale/zh_HAns\?/LC_MESSAGES/django.po` with the correct content!
