New working style sheet for 2020 for Pidgin’s traditional Chinese translations. Primary goal here is internal consistency while minimizing changes to existing style. Where inconsistencies are found, NAER terms are preferred for Taiwanese Chinese 🇹🇼 unless obviously not used in the wild; for Hong Kong Chinese 🇭🇰, CSB terms are preferred unless obviously not used in the wild.
(The original style sheet from 2011, unfortunately removed during the Transifex migration, is available for reference.)
