Chinese
We've had a couple of people offer to do the Chinese translation recently. This thread is for them to connect and collaborate :)

Apologies for the inaccurate language selector, I was aware that it would need changing, but wanted to prioritise activating the language as an option so that you and your community could use the tool. :)

Hi @clkao can I ask a question? zh-Hant is 正體中文, but that's different again from Taiwanese, right? Should we refer to it as Taiwan Chinese or what is the right term to use in English?

I'm deploying this change now, please let me know if it needs any further change

cool that you used loomio to decide this and clarified what can be a bit confusing for us non-Chinese speakers :)

Hi @tomjpsun, @hsinlincheng, @anthonyliu, @clkao. Sorry for being off-topic. I understand the situation may be quite fluid over there. We're interested in scaling the app to prepare for g0v.
Could one of you email me and Ben: [email protected], [email protected] with a timeframe on when this might happen? Thanks.
Also, is there a instant messaging service you use that we can hook into to keep in touch more fluidly?

@simontegg we are on freenode #g0v.tw! do we have an irc channel for loomio?

Hello everyone, if you know Chinese, we could join this discussion to make the translation better.

hi @simon, I am not on IRC. My email is [email protected], and you can find me using Google Talk.

we don't have an irc channel. we use hipchat an loomio internally. We're happy to chat (text or voice/video) on other services as well though

the current system does detect incoming preferred locales, but doesn't take into account dialects (e.g. zh-tw and zh-hk would both be simplified to zh).
we have code underway to address this. so far there has not been a problem but there have not been conflictig/ competing locales
