Sorry for the delay in following up on this. I have been working on this
problem and have been meaning to respond.

We encountered two problems when we set up the Chinese language lists.

1) The database was not originally configured to handle the Chinese
character sets properly. This affects the web pages and the mail forums
(Jive). We have a fix for this that has been tested and is working on
our staging machines. We plan to roll it out on production next week
(Wednesday or Thursday)

2) Mailman does not handle Chinese character sets out of the box (at
least the versions of mailman & Python we are using). We need to either
add some codecs to our version Python or upgrade to Python 2.4. We are
in the process of figuring out which will work better.  Hopefully this
will be resolved next week as well.

Once we get it resolved, it should (hopefully) be easy to have one list
in "Simplified Chinese" and one in "Traditional Chinese".
