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.
