Hmmm, so the only difference between zh_XX languages is their encoding
or script? Is that correct?

Danilo wrote a script to do that within gettext for Serbian language, I
guess zh_XX language could do the same too.

If that's the case, I don't think every zh_XX locale should be open for
translations, just one, and the others could be based on that one, so
translators only need to care about one of them.

If that's correct, yes, we would be interested on handling it
automatically in Rosetta.

Could you file a bug pointing to the scripts used in upstream?

Thank you.
