More precisely, may I know how will you update the translations widget
to accept two different but similar translations? For example, zh_TW and
zh_CN. Changing the limitation of language codes in the widget from 2
letters to 5 letters? Or use tw and cn respectively? For me, I prefer
the later one. I'd like to know your idea too.

Ah! I'm thinking on using IETF language tag [4]. So, for every language variation there will be a link in the translation widget and every language variation will have its own section in the wiki. For example, if we have Portuguese and Brazilian Portuguese, the widget will list:

* Portuguese (pt) (which links to gNewSense.org/pt/etc)

* Portuguese (pt_BR) (which links to gNewSense.org/pt_BR/etc)

Thanks.
