My example was bad, I came confused about what is used in HK.
However, even if my example is bad, everything should work OK for
HK. The correct example is:
If choosing Traditional, then Hong-Kong, you will end up with
zh_HK:zh_TW:zh:en_GB:en
Thus, the installation will continue in zh_TW if it exists.
Currently, however, only zh_CN really exists, thanks to Carlos
work. From my earlier tests, it looks that zh_CN translations will
replace zh_TW when these do not exist.
Side effect of this thread : we currently speak theoretically, as
zh_TW translations are currently nearly vaporware.
You guys needing Traditional Chinese translation need to jump in the
wagon and start translating, I guess.....
