Translate.net Main_page does not show right translation for zh-tw users by default
No matter which browser I use, for example, Firefox, Chrome and Opera, Main page of translate.wiki shows zh-hans translations and English strings. Acctually, zh-tw language users should use zh-hant translations instead of zh-hans.
I use Chrome for this screenshot.
For example, I have checked about:config values in Firefox, "general.user.agent" is "zh-TW" and "intl.accept_languages" are "zh-tw, en-us, en". So it does not make sense to use zh-hans, there must be something wrong behind this problem.
After I logged in Translate.net, those strings showed the right translations. However, we should not ask everyone who use zh-TW language to register and log in to have the right translations showed.
The problem seems to extend to Wikipedia.
Can any technical guy help zh-TW language users to solve this problem? Please help.
Nice find. We rarely use translatewiki.net while not logged in and this issue (incorrect accept language mapping) deserves a solution.
I would like this problem be fixed as soon as possible to help my language.
Do anyone know that who I should contact for this issue? Please help us to convey this issue to developers if you can. Thanks in advance.
I'm still traveling this week, so I don't have time to look at it.
Looks like this behavior has been there for many many years. The message loading sequence doesn't check for fallback translations in mediawiki namespace.
Can/should be fixed? (think so...)
It's possible and even reasonable. However we should be prepared expect ugly issues on WMF projects that might rely on the current behavior a tad too much.
