Hi Walter,

I don't see any 'Hanzi (Traditional)' language entry in the settings
page, is it because you're looking at a MythTV 0.22/0.23 frontend?
Before MythTV 0.24, some of the menus were translated in various
theme-related XML files. But since this approach had been replaced
with the QT translation system (the .ts and .qm files) back in 0.23,
the last XML translations were finally deleted before the release of
0.24.

So the .ts/.qm files for zh_tw have never existed, you'll need to
create them. Open up mythtv/i18n/translate.pro with a text editor and
add "mythfrontend_zh_tw.ts" to the end of the list of languages. Also,
add the corresponding .qm file to the i18n.pro file. Once you run
lupdate/lrelease the next time, the files will get created. See also:

If you want to copy-paste some of the old zh_tw menu translations, you
should be able to find them here:
