Well Makefile tells us how they do: B5TOGB = /usr/bin/iconv -f big5 -t gb2312 This is simple code point translation. Good enough as starter but usually not good enough. I thought we need human to proof them to be perfect. When I translated zh-cn to zh-tw for maint-guide, I used "opencc (unstable then, wheezy version)" as the base translaton tool and my custom sed script with the help of kos...@debian.org (native chinese speaker). (I do not speak chinese but can guess meaning of chinese text.) This uses some huristics to close gap in their character/font usages. (This is done in UTF-8) If Chinese web team think about local word choice preference differences such as: (substitute auto translated word from zh-cn to zh-tw --> better word in zh-tw): s/軟件包/套件/g s/軟件/軟體/g ... Please do not forget to use this cn2tw.sed conversion as good starting point until opencc becomes smart enough to do these too. It is in the maint-guide source package. > I added our debian-www mailing list to the CC, maybe they can explain > how that helps, and how you can help, if you interested.
