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.

Definitely remove the "twz", which is, I think dead anyway.

Some of the text, including text aimed at users, is wrong, e.g. zh is not
equivalent to Mandarin, and is not intended to be, and the other comments
are also misleading for similar reasons, but maybe, if we get the code on
the right track, I can re-raise those when I have time, as it is really
something I ought to do outside working hours.
