--- Comment #19 from fanchy <li3939...@gmail.com> --- (In reply to comment #18) I have start a discussion(in Chinese) in wikidata project chat (http://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:%E4%BA%92%E5%8A%A9%E5%AE%A2%E6%A0%88#.E5.BC.BA.E7.83.88.E5.BB.BA.E8.AE.AE.E5.BD.BB.E5.BA.95.E6.B8.85.E9.99.A4zh-cn.2Czh-tw.2Czh-hk.2Czh-sg.2Czh-my.2Czh-mo.E8.AF.AD.E8.A8.80.E4.BB.A3.E7.A0.81) about the 9 zh language codes, which I think has cause many problems in Commons. Basically I hope there will be a small number of language codes for Chinese in multilingual projects like Commons, wikidata. Even many Chinese don't know what the 9 zh language codes means. When writing scripts , foreigners always ignore some of the variants or use it in the wrong way and cause bugs. > I'm planning to do it later for item pages. But for content pages... It's > still > needed. For the item pages, I think we only need a automatic converter for human writing not a automatic converter for human reading. For example, when I enter a zh-hans label it can automatically convert it to zh-hant and store both zh-hans and zh-hant. This will be very simple even can be done with javascript or a bot, although it will cause a little redundancy. The content pages really need that kind of converter for human reading. Or it can also be resolved with a converter for human writing as above. I think redundancy can be toleranted if it is much more simple. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
