You can said, I hate SC(Simplified Chinese).

My some friends work in Taiwan corp. at mainland, they said,
their boss can read and listen SC smoothly, but let they
write report in TC(Traditional Chinese).

In fact, I have been collaborate with some Taiwan and Hong Kong
corp., they(Traditional Chinese users) can read and listen SC
smoothly too.

I can understand you hate SC, but you can ONLY delegate your self.

I can not imagine, de_at and de_ch users ask for delete de.po,
used de_de.po instead.

If you realy don't like see SC, you can send a  zh_TW.po with a few
translated strings.

According to RFC 4646[1] and IANA language subtag registry[2],
zh_CN, zh_TW, zh_HK is obsoleted or deprecated, zh-Hans and
zh-Hant is prefered, microsoft has been switched to RFC 4646.
