Hoi,
We do not localise for zh-CN. We localise for zh-Hans and zh-Hant.
Consequently I do not understand really why there is a mention of zh-CN on
the Chinese Wikipedia to do with localisation in the first place.
(obviously I can not read the text)
Thanks,
Gerard

Hoi,
Many of you are actively working on the localisation of MediaWiki. In the
last couple of days I blogged twice on possible maintenance jobs on your
local wiki.
There are two parts to it:
the part where you copy messages to translatewiki; you have to be a twn
translator to do this
the part where you remove messages on your local wiki; you have to be a
local admin to do this
The bottom line is that messages available at
translatewiki.net will be
available on any Wiki. This is why you want to always localise at
translatewiki. When messages exist that are the same on your wiki and on
translatewiki they may cause problems in the future. This is why
localising
locally is typically not the thing to do.
In the post a Toolserver tool is mentioned that makes it relatively easy
to
do all this.
Thanks.
Gerard

It reports[1] zhwiki has MediaWiki:About/zh-cn with content "关于", but
its real content is "关于维基百科"[2].
