Summary:                    [patch] TW is not an ISO Language Code
Description: 
Tawanese actually is standard mandarin chinese that is categorized as
"zh-tw" or simply "zh" and NEVER "tw". Should simply be "zh" in Asterisk
because Asterisk is not concerned with the actual script of a locale (the
way it is written).

The reason why setting taiwanese as "tw" is a problem, is because it
fragments the efforts to localize in the standard mandarin chinese language
(which is coded as "zh") and is a bad internationalization practice
altogether.

---------------------------------------------------------------------- 
This issue was opened to clarify an administrative issue of "tw" being
misused as a language code.  The code in question solves this issue.  Any
other contribution for questions which are not yet agreed upon can be
resolved with another issue.  I think the code contribution solves the
problem that this issue raises.  You're welcome to continue this discussion
off the issue tracker, but this issue shall not be extended to cover all
issues with the Chinese language in Asterisk, unless you have candidate
code within 5 business days.

I have to put my foot down and ensure that issues are not inappropriately
extended for the long term with no end in sight.
