I don't think I understand this paragraph but I believe that you mean
that this is correct despite the language difference.  Due to my lack
of knowledge about Chinese language I am unable to verify this.

That few people use a language is not a reason not to provide the
correct translation.  But that's irrelevant since (IIUC) the patch
provides correct locale data for all these languages.
