Currently website team has already done similar work. The translation
can be shown in the webpage without problem.

I am sorry that I didn't make you fully understand why do I want that move.

In fact, I don't really care about the use of the new or the old code name.

When I talked about the "confuse new contributors" in my previous
messages, it is because the projects are not in the same language team
like other languages' are. Most of the projects are in zh_CN/TW, except
that website project is in zh_Hans/zh_Hant. This is my concern, and this
*may* cause the possiblity of unnecessary new translation of the website
project in zh_CN language code team, this is the *confusion* I want to
talk about. Furthermore, the projects should be in the same language
team, like they are in other language teams, like they were in old
platforms(transifex,zanata).

As a user, I've never met such challenge or haven't noticed it. As a
translator, all I hope is what I said above.
I don't have deep understanding of the bug you mentioned, but we'd
better discuss about it in another post if you like.

So you want the projects in Chinese languages keep their current status,
one in new language code, and rest of them in old language code.
When upstream fix the bug someday, you will finally move all of the
projects to the new language code(zh_Hans/Hant). Am I right?

Do you mean i18n and glibc won't fix it?

Sorry, I don't understand this.
