   • Can I use only zh-Hans/zh-Hant resx files for Chinese if I don't need to support locale-specific variations?

     The answer was no - you can't have only zh-hans/zh-hant. Because, if you do, and you pass the base zh code with your browser, it will NOT automatically resolve to the zh-hans or zh-hant resx files.

     The reason is due to something called the “Resource Fallback Process”.

     Basically, .NET resolves resources through a hierarchy. It will start with the culture code requested, and if a resx for that specific culture code doesn’t exist, it will then begin to travel up the hierarchy, searching for the next culture code that does have a resx. But, it never travels down, only up.

     Here is an example of the hierarchy for zh-sg [Singapore]:

     • Invariant
     • zh
     • zh-Hans
     • zh-chs (legacy generic code)
     • zh-sg (locale-specific codes)

     So first it looks for zh-sg. If there is no resource file for zh-sg, it looks for zh-chs. If there is no resource file for zh-chs, it looks for zh-Hans. And so forth.

     Having just zh-Hans and zh-Hant would work for all the locale-specific codes, such as zh-sg, zh-tw, etc. Some browsers allow you to select Generic Simplified (zh-Hans) or Generic Traditional (zh-Hant), and obviously it'd work in those scenarios as well. The only scenario it wouldn't work for is when base Chinese zh was selected and passed in the request. In that scenario, if zh doesn't exist, the next place it looks is the Invariant culture - in this case, that returns English text - which is obviously not what we want.

     My solution, then, was to pair down to having base zh, and zh-Hant for my 2 codes. Base zh then is my file containing Simplified text, and zh-Hant of course is my file containing Traditional text. I could've done it the other way around (made zh contain Traditional text and used zh-Hans for Simplified) but really, there are no guidelines out there I can find, about what the base zh should represent. Should it be Simplified, or should it be Traditional? I suspect it's largely a matter of preference. A quick search of several popular websites revealed that in most cases, a request for base zh produces text which Google Translate recognizes as Simplified. In a few cases it did produce Traditional. But, I went with what the majority seemed to be doing.

   • What standard do language codes of the form "zh-Hans" belong to?

     Top Answer

     Answered Aug 15, 2016 · 30 votes

     The current reference for identifying languages is IETF BCP 47, which combines IETF RFC 5646 and RFC 4647.

     Codes of the form ll-Xxxx combine an ISO 639-1 language code (two letters) and an ISO 15924 script code (four letters). BCP 47 recommends that language codes be written in lower case and that script codes be written "lowercase with the initial letter capitalized", but this is basically for readability.

     BCP 47 also recommends that the language code should be the shortest available ISO 639 tag. So if a language is represented in both ISO 639-1 (two letters) and ISO 639-3 (three letters), than you should use the ISO 639-1.

   The ISO 639-1 code 'zh' identifies "Chinese", but the concept of Chinese encloses a number of distinct languages or dialects that share certain traits. While these languages are written very similarly (making tags such as "zh-Hant" and "zh-Hans" useful), spoken content is very different indeed.
