			::Hi Loxodoromy. It shouldn't be a problem if Nixpkgs/zh contains mixed usage of SC and TC characters, as Wikipedia does the same, and I think that's the best approach. For terms that differ between SC and TC, you can actually specify how to localize them, see this example: https://wiki.nixos.org/w/index.php?title=Nixpkgs/zh&diff=prev&oldid=26682. That being said, 釋出 should probably be replaced by 發行 in accordance with https://terms.naer.edu.tw/. [[User:Weijia\|Weijia]] ([[User talk:Weijia\|talk]]) 17:11, 2 October 2025 (UTC)

	Hi Loxodoromy. I noticed you just recreated multiple pages in zh-hans that had previously been merged to zh. Would you consider contributing translations in zh instead, as it supports automatic conversion to different Chinese variants (for example, https://wiki.nixos.org/w/index.php?title=Nixpkgs/zh&variant=zh-cn for mainland China)?

== Contribute to zh instead of zh-hans ==

Hi Loxodoromy. I noticed you just recreated multiple pages in zh-hans that had previously been merged to zh. Would you consider contributing translations in zh instead, as it supports automatic conversion to different Chinese variants (for example, https://wiki.nixos.org/w/index.php?title=Nixpkgs/zh&variant=zh-cn for mainland China)?
