However, notice the warning at the end: "Some members who use this setting forget they have have limited what is displayed and sometimes can't figure out why sentences seem to be missing."

The name is part of a site configuration setting, so only system administrators can change it.

When zh_TW was added to Tatoeba, because we were not sure what was the best name to use, to keep it safe we used the same name as what is used on https://zh.wikipedia.org/. You can check the discussion that happened at that time: https://github.com/Tatoeba/tatoeba2/issues/2672

You are welcome to share your expertise on this topic.

Here's more about the change request:

the language name is better to be shown as "中文 (台灣)", also, the language name for Chinese (China) is better to be "中文 (中国)" (or "中文 (中国大陆)" for geopolitical reasons). We should not use the current （大陆简体） and （臺灣正體） because it's solely a Wikipedia mechanism, not for interfaces in general. The most common way to show interface language options are the way I listed above. Android, iOS, Windows, etc all have the two variations of languages shown like that. I'm strongly recommend that we should change them.

there's also another solution completely avoiding geopolitical problems: rename Chinese (Taiwan) into Chinese (Traditional), i.e. 中文 (繁體); and rename Chinese (China) into Chinese (Simplified), i.e. 中文 (简体). I recommend this more.

Awesome, thank you very much! I really appreciate your translation effort, and all your contributions in general by the way. I will apply the Chinese translation to tatoeba.org this week.

yeah, technically all flags should use an svg version. we should add them as long as we can get them.

In the past, every single language icon had poor rendering, that is to say all were an image of 30×20 pixels. We are working to redesign them to vectorized (SVG) equivalents, but not all the icons have been converted yet. (Despite the files are SVG, many of the SVG simply contain a raster image).

You contributions to the redesign effort are very welcome. Currently, 154 out of 429 language icons are vectorized.

The Spanish flag could be improved, but we do not want to include every single intricate detail of the flag, since it is mainly displayed as a tiny icon.
