Hi Graeme,

I'm interested in the same issue. Hopefully someone out there knows something.

没问题 :)

In english:

no problem.  

You don't need change anything in database.

For editors they need just change their input method in their language bar and start edit the page. However EPiServer has only translated UI for simplified chinese.

Hi again,

We've had a request to create a site which will use Traditional Chinese (zh-CHT). I couldn't find this anywhere in the available languages and there's no option to add it either. As a test I manually added this to the DB on my dev box using dbo.netLanguageBranchInsert, which made it available.

However, when i attempt to create a page in this language I get the following:

Please select a specific culture, such as zh-CN, zh-HK, zh-TW, zh-MO, zh-SG.

System.ArgumentException: Please select a specific culture, such as zh-CN, zh-HK, zh-TW, zh-MO, zh-SG.

Yo say above that all of the Chinese variants shoudl be avaialable, but it appears that you only support specific cultures, and not neutral ones, is that the case?

If you dont' support neutral cultures, what do you suggest that we do about creating a site in traditional chinese?

Thanks

Graeme
