ios - Localization issue - specific x generic -
this problem. have simplified chinese , spanish translations add application. when adding these localizations app presented list of locales
- simplified chinese china
- simplified chinese macau
- simplified chinese hong kong
- simplified chinese singapure
- traditional chinese china
- traditional chinese macau
- traditional chinese hong kong
- traditional chinese singapure
and have option chinese
.
the same happens spanish, lot of specific spanish options plus spanish.
how work? mean, option chinese
kind of "wild card" work people speaking chinese, independently if devices set tradidional or simplified in country speaking chinese?
you can read variations of chinese here: varieties of chinese. bottom line different variants relate geography , geopolitics, careful , make sure translation getting 1 want.
the situation similar spanish. plain ("es") presumed european spanish. see spanish dialects , varieties more info.
to question, "es" generic, in sense fallback spanish language on device. if have localization es, localization chosen whether select "spanish" or "spanish (mexico)". linguistic standpoint, common meaning "es" european spanish.
with chinese, story bit different. there no generic chinese fall to. if intend target mainland china, go chinese (simplified). if want target chinese population outside china, simplest choice chinese (traditional).
