Hoi, Chinese is special because the difference between the various flavours of Chinese are handled in software, not in translatewiki. It works for both the localisation and the text.
A question was raised if the Language committee needs to provide permission for specific versions of Chinese eg Hong Kong or Singapore Chinese. It means that in code characters are replaced by others..
In my opinion this is no different from having American, British, Australian articles in the English Wikipedia and consequently I think that we do not have to give our agreement.
Do you all concur? Thanks, GerardM
