The second component of the path name should specify the encoding you
are using for simplified Chinese. I assume you will be using the GB
encoding?  Or possibly Unicode?

For GB, the proper path name for your project would be :

    'zh_CN.GB'

The pathname for the traditional chinese documentation is
'zh_TW.BIG5'.
