Finally, the proposed patch for Chinese is not sufficient. It just supports a
single collation, and is not suitable. It will require lots of works to support
other locales.

I really suggest that such patch uses either the SQL-supported collations, when
they exist for wellknown locales, or that the collation keys are computed using
a strong and well supported design, most probably ICU for C (already available
as a extension module for PHP and Perl) also available as ICU for Java (and
that can be integrated in some SQL engine backends), that natively includes the
support for CLDR locales (and their widely discussed tuned standard
tailorings), in addition to easy integration of locales using MediaWiki
supported tailorings (using the LDML syntax) for the locales currently not
supported in CLDR but needed for the many languages that MediaWiki sites
support.
