dsh-locale-zh-tw

The DSH Web core locale package ships with only Simplified Chinese and English, and the locale list is a fixed constant with no public API for registering new locales. Traditional Chinese users simply have no option under the language setting. dsh-locale-zh-tw fills exactly that gap: after installation, Traditional Chinese appears in the language list, the entire interface switches over, and no core files or other plugin code need to be modified.

The plugin works on three fronts. The first is a publish guard that intercepts any language fallback the core might trigger during settings reload, so the UI stays in Traditional Chinese after switching. The second is real-time simplified-to-traditional conversion following Taiwan terminology, covering 89 phrase groups and 389 character pairs; Simplified Chinese dictionaries in other plugins are converted on the fly as well. The third is automatic browser detection: when the browser reports zh-TW, zh-Hant, zh-HK, or zh-MO, Traditional Chinese is selected on load, with the preference stored in localStorage.

If you use DSH Web daily and prefer Traditional Chinese, this is a drop-in solution. It carries zero external dependencies, every step is wrapped in try/catch for silent degradation so dsh web always loads normally, and if the core ever ships built-in zh-TW, the patch auto-detects and steps aside without conflict.
