Hi i18n people,
I'm one of the maintainer of the vim package, I need your help on
#298554. Briefly, the problem is that the Chinese version of the vim
tutorial (available when executing 'vimtutor') is available in two
encodings (cp950 and big5).
The bug reporter is asking for a third encoding (utf-8) to be made
available. While I have no problem with that, I'm a bit worried by the
last part of the bug report, about "fairness" wrt Traditional Chinese
users. Quoting from the bug report:
PS: I admit it seems not neutrality for Traditional Chinese users, but
I have no easy way to keep neutrality between Simplified Chinese users
and Traditional Chinese users, maybe someone else can give better
patches. Anyway, It's better than mess-up.
Could you please comment on that? Am I going to make Traditional Chinese
users angry by adding the utf-8 encoding of the tutorial. I can hardly
see way, but better safe than sorry.
Many thanks in advance for your advice!
Cheers.
