Description
Hello, the current mapbox language settings are: Simplified Chinese: zh-Hans, Traditional Chinese: zh-Hant, but in the browser, zh-Hans and zh-Hant are not recognized language codes, so there is no way to automatically display Chinese for users in Chinese areas.
The language codes recognized in the browser are:
Simplified Chinese: zh-cn, zh-sg, zh
Traditional Chinese: zh-tw, zh-hk
I hope it can be adjusted, thank you!
