cn_zh = traditional cn_cn = simplified It took me a while to decide whether it was appropriate to have two independant chinese docs. Traditional chinese is used in Taiwan and Hong Kong whereas simplified is mainly used in China. Among the other differences the most annoying issue (to some traditional chinese reader) is the different terminologies used. Just think of it like the american diaper and british nappy. They mean the same thing. But a british is less likely to understand disaper and vice versa. And it's especially true when comes to technical stuff. I don't have the statistical figures of how many ppl using computers read traditional and simplified. So I can't say which version will be read more often. I'll skip the documentations if having only one version makes more sense to you. Kenneth
