Comment 8 Cheng-Chia Tseng 2013-04-19 16:51:16 UTC
We should not use 傳統漢語!

We are talking to the characters to present the language here (漢文 or 中文) but not the talking language (漢語). Plus, 正體中文 is the official name for Chinese (Traditonal) which issued by Ministry of Education in Taiwan.

I don't know why you insist to change this without disscuss with local community or at least the Chinese (Traditional) translation coordinator.

Comment 9 Cheng-Chia Tseng 2013-04-19 17:08:00 UTC
傳統字漢語 is not good either. There is no one in any field use this term in Taiwan to describe Chinese (Traditional). Instead, We use 正體漢字 to describe "the offical recognized variant of Chinese character". 

"傳統字漢語" is full of problem. First, we use 正體字 to describe tradtional Chinese character but not 傳統字. Second, we use 中文 or 漢文 to describe the way we present Chinese characters but not 漢語. 漢語 is the term we use to describe the talking language in large. 

The only offical name of Chinese (Traditional) in Taiwan is 正體中文.

We should be more conservative to change a translation for a language. To change the translation to fit your personal idea is not a good way for all Chinese (Traditional) users.

At least you should communicate with the community, then go here to propose the change only if they agree with your idea. But you don't, that's the point.

Comment 10 Caius Chance 2013-04-21 12:00:34 UTC
I don't think this is a proper change in terms of both process and change correctness. As Cheng-chia mentioned, 正體中文 is the official name for Chinese (Traditonal) which issued by Ministry of Education in Taiwan, where the authority located in the largest population of Traditional Chinese language users.

In terms of process, you had never contacted and communicated with Chinese Fedora Community before making the change. In terms of change, 傳統漢語 or 傳統字漢語 are not the common or sense-making names describing the language used among Taiwan, Hong Kong and overseas Chinese community.

As per the term had been used for Fedora users from installation to daily operation, anything not widely used in real life should not be introduced no matter that is a scientific term or a term invented by you. I personally strongly discourage and against the change. I hope the term can be reverted to "正體中文" or this can be defined as a regression. Thank you.

Comment 11 Pravin Satpute 2013-04-22 04:57:14 UTC
@Caius yes definitely

Before doing this change i thought this is well communicated decision.

@ Wei-Lun If you have any official document from Ministry please update here, else i will reverse this change.

Comment 12 Wei-Lun Chao 2013-04-22 06:19:05 UTC
@Pravin
No, I have not. Even so, thanks.

system-config-language-1.3.5-23.fc19 uses 傳統漢語 still. 

To be clear, it should be reverted to 正體中文 instead.

Now the status is CLOSED ERRATA, but system-config-language-1.3.5-23.fc19 still present Chinese (Traditional) as "傳統漢語" instead of "正體中文".

Please revert it back to 正體中文 as it was and it should be.

Thanks!
