Subject: [PATCH] [bugfix] Fix Chinese locale detection to properly handle
 traditional Chinese
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

- Update getDefaultLocale() to distinguish between zh-CN (simplified) and zh-TW/zh-HK/zh-Hant (traditional)
- Fixes issue where browsers set to traditional Chinese were incorrectly defaulting to simplified Chinese translations
- Preserves existing behavior for all other languages

Fixes #5151
