I already have exceptions for things like that. I think our code handles zh_{CN,TW,HK} separately, as well as things like pt_BR vs. pt.

i18n is hard but I think I've been doing a fairly good job on it. Proud to have more than 50% of our visitors from outside of the US!


Having now read the full code and not just the diff, I have to say it looks pretty good. I note that plain "zh" is not redirected to the cn site. ;) Whether it should or not is debatable though -- I actually think ignoring "zh" altogether is a rather prudent move if it is intentional.
