Please add following languages to zanata team: nan, hak, yue, lzh, cmn Thanks!
Not all users are linguistics. I strongly run AGAINST the language code *cmn*. We already have all the simplified Chinese translation under language zh_Hans_CN. The 'cmn' shows in installation media of Fedora 30 already got confusion for why there is a thing called '官话' listed. I don't quite agree with lzh. It's no longer actively using in the modern world.
What's the rationale to add these languages? nan, hak, yue, and cmn are all spoken languages, not the written system. (yue can be written but not really standardized.) lzh is the classical language. Who will use it as the computer interface every day? Besides, do we have communities to support each of them? It'll be far more challenging to provide up to date translation for Fedora which has two releases per year than Wikipedia.
I don't think it's necessary. 1. Even major domestic applications or softwares in Chinese market don't have these languages included. 2. Currently, Simplified Chinese localisation is already costing too much energy and time of the contributors. I definitely am sure that the contributors wouldn't and couldn't put their efforts on these languages. 3. Under these circumstances, adding these languages support would also waste the time of the maintainers. 4. Furthermore, as far as I know, these languages appear in Wikipedia, but Fedora Project is not like the former. In my humble opinion, localisation is a kind of work for written languages. Today, the most widely used and accepted written language in China mainland is Simplified Chinese, which is the official language.
https://github.com/mike-fabian/langtable/releases/tag/0.0.43 In this release, I reduced the rank of cmn_TW.UTF-8 and zh_SG.UTF-8 to 0 for languageId="zh". So Anaconda will not show these anymore in future.
Created attachment 1571068 [details] Proof of concept for translation in yue 28 machine-translated, unreviewed and unusable po-files in yue language for projects in Zanata.

As a Chinese mandarin speaker from China mainland, for us, cmn in ISO 639-3 is Chinese mandarin, which is equally the same thing as zh_Hans. We call it 'mandarin'(普通话) only when we refer to the oral language. When referring to the writing system, we say 简体中文, which is zh_Hans_cn. So from my point of view, cmn is zh_hans. I don't speak for the people in China Taiwan, since they use different writing system which is probably called zh_Hans_TW. I don't know about Singapore.
