To ensure browser compatibility, as browsers still widely use RFC-1766.

There are multiple zh-Hans / zh-Hant variants on iOS and Android, such as zh-Hans-SG. We want to match as many of these language variants as possible.

For the same reason as above—browser compatibility.

To match the two variants on Android and iOS:
yue-Hans and yue-Hant.
Not using yue-Hant directly due to poor browser compatibility.

By converting the language tag from RFC-1766 to RFC-4646, it successfully fixed the post time issue. It’s still not perfect, at least it is on the same level as Japanese display without polyfill.

This PR includes the latest translations from Crowdin, and cleans up outdated strings.
Update: We are attempting to convert the language codes for Chinese and Cantonese from RFC-1766 to RFC-4646, to resolve language-related compatibility issues.
The following are the changes:
zh-CN->zh-Hans-CNzh-TW->zh-Hant-TWzh-HK->yueSimilar to
ast#6774,yuehas been proven to be a valid language code for application languages. Tests have shown thatzh-Hans-CNandzh-Hant-TWcan also be correctly used by Lingui and the application.Note the impact of changing the language code is limited to the app display language, Cantonese still cannot be used as post language.
This will be an attempt to fix #6728 without introducing a polyfills.
