Or rather, zh-hans, and I have always associated zh with different forms of Chinese. The information is in Chinese. http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Local_Mailing_Lists/zh-hans > >> Han may be the principal race of the Chinese people, > > This has nothing to do with race, it is the preferred ISO code to use. > > Again, please point out the URLs that list the invorrect info, so it > can be fixed. http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Local_Mailing_Lists/zh-hans And under that all the instructions are in Chinese: [email protected]：LibreOffice 用户支持 • 订阅：[email protected] • 汇总版订阅：[email protected] • 存档：http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/bn/users/ • Mail-Archive.com: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Notice that the addresses begin with bn. Don't know what's on the other end if you subscribe there, as I haven't gone that far yet. BTW, now I look closer, I find that, in the long list on the left, Chinese Simplified and Chinese Traditional are listed, and go somewhere else. I didn't get that far, as I saw the alphabetical list at the top with zh-tw and zh-hans. Since zh-tw is usually used for Traditional Chinese, as they write it in Taiwan (tw), I chose the other, and got to the page I cited above. And, apart from zh-hans and the address beginning with br instead of zh-cn, everything looked normal, all in good Simplified Chinese. //James -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to [email protected] List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/www/website/ *** All posts to this list are publicly archived for eternity ***
