A Taiwan-oriented (正體中文) translation, not a character-level conversion of the Simplified one - the vocabulary differs, most notably "file" (檔案) and "document" (文件), which map the other way round in Simplified Chinese. As per TRANSLATION.md, only the dictionary file is added; it isn't wired into locales/index.js. Note that the index keys are 2-character ISO 639-1 codes, where "zh" is already taken by the Simplified dictionary, so connecting this one needs a decision on the key (e.g. "zh-TW" or "zh-Hant").

Adds a Traditional Chinese (正體中文) dictionary, oriented towards Taiwanese usage.
It is not a character-level conversion of the Simplified Chinese file. The
vocabulary genuinely differs, and the most important pair maps the other way
round in the two variants:
So a naive conversion would translate both of them wrongly. Other common
differences applied throughout: 打印 → 列印, 网络 → 網路, 链接 → 連結,
选项卡 → 分頁, 阅读器 → 檢視器, 扩展 → 擴充功能, 光标 → 游標, 热键 → 快速鍵,
服务器 → 伺服器.
All 104 keys match
English.jsexactly and in the same order, every#placeholder is preserved, and there are no
nullvalues left.As TRANSLATION.md asks, I've only added the dictionary and haven't connected it
to
locales/index.js. One thing to note if you do connect it: the index keysare 2-character ISO 639-1 codes, and
zhis already taken by the Simplifieddictionary, so this one needs a longer key. Either
zh-TWorzh-Hantworksfine from my side — whichever fits your plans better.
navigator.languagesreports both forms in practice, so the choice is yours.
