Sorry, could I clarify what you mean? I'm afraid that I miss your
point. Do you mean that after a user choose language, some countries
would be displayed according to the chosen language? And if one choose
Traditional Chinese, Taiwan and Hong Kong will be displayed, while
users choose Simplified Chinese won't see Taiwan as an option. Is that
right?
