The translation of "Traditonal Chinese" one have been made.
But, do we need to have Simplified Chinese version as well? Mainly, Chinese people from Mainland of China, Singapore read Simplified Chinese, while people from Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan using Traditional Chinese. However, the case is mostly Chinese people can understand both Simplified Chinese and Traditonal Chinese.

Ted - then could you do the translation? Most Singaporean Chinese have a decent - but not native - command of both English and Chinese. While I can converse in Chinese, I don't feel comfortable doing translations.
Wikipedia *does* need to lift the ban on Tor and welcome mainland Chinese. Its coverage of China is horrendous, and Baidu Baike has already overtaken the Chinese Wikipedia.

Seconded.
I live in Taiwan and I could speak/read/write Chinese because it's my native.
Not all people who use Chinese live in China....
BTW, some people who live in China could still read the mail list. At least I could name some in the foundation-l list....
Thanks and best regards, Ted (Hsiang-Tai)

Hoi, Many Chinese who read and write Chinse all the time do not live in
China
at
all. The notion that only mainland Chinese are able to read and write Chinese is not correct. There are many languages supported by a
Wikipedia
that have fewer speakers and writers than the number of people who
speak
/
write Chinese outside of mainland China. Thanks, GerardM

If
so, finding a Chinese translator will be difficult.
Indeed. One wonders why Chinese has been listed there at all, given
that
nobody in China would be able to participate (they can view the
page,
yes, but I'm sure the moment they try to edit it or upload a file, they'll be indefinitely blocked).
