[Bug]: zh_CN/zh_HK/zh_SG/zh_TW have been removed from LINGUAS, making the Chinese translation unusable

[SwimmingTiger]

Describe the bug

1. zh_Hans and zh_Hant are not language codes actually used in Linux desktop.

2. zh_CN/zh_HK/zh_SG/zh_TW are the language codes actually used in Linux desktop, where CN/SG use Hans, and HK/TW use Hant.

3. I created symlinks for them and added the actual used language code to LINGUAS, after this PR, the Chinese translation can be actually used: i18n: add regional variants of Chinese as symbolic links #1515

4. But unfortunately, this commit was quickly overwritten by b91be85, zh_CN/zh_HK/zh_SG/zh_TW was removed from LINGUAS, and the Chinese translation is again unavailable to actual users.

To Reproduce

1. Switch to any Chinese locale.

2. Run Bottles.

3. Bottles are not loaded with Chinese translation.

4. Run this command:

   env | grep LANG
   

   You may get one of the following codes:

   LANGUAGE=zh_CN
   LANGUAGE=zh_HK
   LANGUAGE=zh_SG
   LANGUAGE=zh_TW
   

   You have no chance of getting the following code:

   LANGUAGE=zh_Hans
   LANGUAGE=zh_Hant
   

5. Run this command:

   cat /etc/locale.gen | grep zh
   

   You will get:

   #lzh_TW UTF-8  
   #zh_CN.GB18030 GB18030  
   #zh_CN.GBK GBK  
   #zh_CN.UTF-8 UTF-8  
   #zh_CN GB2312  
   #zh_HK.UTF-8 UTF-8  
   #zh_HK BIG5-HKSCS  
   #zh_SG.UTF-8 UTF-8  
   #zh_SG.GBK GBK  
   #zh_SG GB2312  
   #zh_TW.EUC-TW EUC-TW  
   #zh_TW.UTF-8 UTF-8  
   #zh_TW BIG5
   

   And zh_Hans and zh_Hant are not among them.

6. Therefore, it is meaningless to keep only zh_Hans and zh_Hant in LINGUAS for actual Chinese users, we need zh_CN/zh_HK/zh_SG/zh_TW also in it.

If a bot made the following changes, its behavior may need to be corrected: b91be85

Weblate keep breaking because of this. Since those are just symlinks, we should add them at build instead. I have to figure out how to do this. Currently adding them to the LINGUAS file will break every language due to weblate not handling the locales and only supports zh_Hans and zh_Hant

[SwimmingTiger]

Consider using a wrapper script to modify environment variables at runtime:

#!/bin/sh
replace_lang() {
    lang="${1/zh_CN/zh_Hans}"
    lang="${lang/zh_SG/zh_Hans}"
    lang="${lang/zh_HK/zh_Hant}"
    lang="${lang/zh_TW/zh_Hant}"
    echo "$lang"
}

export LANGUAGE="$(replace_lang "$LANGUAGE")"
export LANG="$(replace_lang "$LANG")"

exec real-bottles "$@"

Then you can undo my changes and remove those symlinks.

If environment variable substitution in python code is applicable, that's fine too.

Should be doable

[mirkobrombin]

should be fixed by 9b7164a

[mirkobrombin]

Nvm, the problem is still there

[mxj4]

@mirkobrombin I took a brief look at this repo and weblate repo, it seems that somewhere on weblate side you can choose a different language format.

See the fix at WeblateOrg/weblate@2e9c2bb
And the discussion at WeblateOrg/weblate#5522

[mirkobrombin]

I don't see those lang codes in weblate
