Change code for both Traditional Chinese and Simplified Chinese to work

[A Web Developer]

In WordPress, the locale code for Traditional Chinese is zh_TW and the locale code for Simplified Chinese is zh_CN. In the WP Google Maps plugin, inside the file:

“wp-google-maps/includes/class.google-maps.api-loader.php”

Inside the function “getGoogleMapsAPIParams()”, there is a line:

$locale = substr($locale, 0, 2);

This line would set the locale to just “zh” for the locales “zh_TW” or “zh_CN”. The problem with this is that Google Map will then default the language to Simplified Chinese. Therefore, the Traditional Chinese site will display Simplified Chinese Google Map interface – which is not correct. I can fix this by commenting out the line mentioned above.

Therefore, I would like to request either to remove above line in future versions, or do a check for Chinese language like there is a check for Hebrew. For example,

if (($locale != ‘zh_TW’) and ($locale != ‘zh_CN’)) {
$locale = substr($locale, 0, 2);
}

Thanks a lot.
