New description:
for some languages eg, en-us hyphen is used
but in zh_hans underscore is used.
If zh-hans is used, django would not show the translation. Here's some
tests and resutls
Language code: zh_hans, folder zh_hans -> works
Language code: zh_hans, folder zh-hans -> ` No translation files found
for default language zh_hans.`
Language code: zh-hans, folder zh-hans -> does not work. No errors, no
translations
Language code: zh-hans, folder zh_hans -> does not work. No erros, no
translations
looks like django does not treat zh-hans as a valid language code, which
is very very confusing because the default en-us is valid.
It look me a very long time to figure this out.
Edit: even zh_hans is not working with browser language detection, the
folder has to be named 'zh_Hans' even though request.LANGUAGE is 'zh-hans'
is there somether in the doc that pointed this out?
