Improve language detection for zh-Hant-TW

[Yuchenjimmy 11]

Hello, I have several movies with embedded subtitles, however, emby doesn't recognize "zh-Hant-TW", and still labeled it with "Chinese Simplified". Strangly enough, it recognize "zh-Hant-HK" and labeled it correctly with "Chinese Traditional". Please help me figure out if it's a bug or am I doing something wrong.

Hi, where does zh-Hant-TW come from?

 Can’t you use zh-Hant?

Hello, I've tried using zh-TW, zh-HK, zh-Hant-TW, and zh-Hant-HK, including zh-Hant, and zh-Hant is labeled as "Chinese Simplified" as well.

isn't that correct though?

Both Taiwan and Hong Kong use Traditional Chinese, but with slighty different; therefore, we need different ISO codes for better usage. Anyway, zh-TW, zh-HK, zh-Hant-TW, zh-Hant-HK, z-Hant, all should be Chinese Traditional. The "t" in zh-Han"t" means for "Traditional", and zh-Han"s" is the one for "Simplified".

OK we'll add support for these two. Thanks.

Hello, this problem is still there. Also, I think Chinese language codes without region specified, such as chi, zh, should only be labeled as "Chinese" instead of "Simplified Chinese", that's really unfair for traditional Chinese users. pic 3 is how your "relatives" handle this problem.

Expected results would be:

Chinese:

chi

zh

 

Traditional Chinese:

zh-Hant

zh-TW

zh-HK

zh-TW-Hant

zh-HK-Hant

 

Simplified Chinese:

zh-Hans

zh-CN

zh-CN-Hans

All of these are already supported except for zh-HK-Hant and zh-CN-Hans, so we'll add those.

Hello, thst's minor. The major problem is you can see zh-Hant is still listed as "Chinese Simplified".

[Yuchenjimmy 11]

And I suggest seperate zh-TW and zh-HK as well. For instance:

Chinese Traditional

zh-Hant

Chinese Traditional (Taiwan)

zh-TW

zh-TW-Hant

Chinese Traditional (Hongkong)

zh-HK

zh-HK-Hant

Last but not least, please do consider make zh and chi show as Chinese, instead of Chinese Simplified.
