README.cn.md doesn't follow naming convention about standard-readme HOT 8 CLOSED

Well, cn is a strange convention, but I think just use zh hurts readability because we Chinese might miss it since it's not widely used.
Actually, from my point of view, zh-Hans and zh-Hant better describe the difference between simplified Chinese and traditional Chinese, because we use nearly the same grammar and vocabulary. The writings might look totally different (because we use different sets of characters), but we can read each other's content.
However, for readability, I suggest keep cn in, and zh-CN is a compromise.

so now the commits in my PR have updated the correct filename as you guys suggested~

Interesting! Not sure how cn slipped in.

My 2cts is go with zh. We do not know which regions the author(s) came from, but we do know that it is Chinese (hence zh), in the simplified script (trusting your judgement, giving zh-Hans). We can then hopefully stay away from regions. However, Unicode CLDR suggests that zh-Hans is more information that often needed: because Hans is the most used script associated with the macrolanguage zh, zh implies Hans. (They also suggest using pt for Portuguese as spoken in Brazil, en for English as spoken in the USA, es for Spanish in South America).

We don't know about the initial translator but there are a pile of fixes by @bugstop who claims to be from Shenzhen, Guangdong.

Either way, almost definitely mainland China, so I'd go with zh_CN.
My 2 yen 😉

OK, i will fix it soon

I'm not seeing an open PR. Am I missing something?

@RichardLitt The PR was #115 I believe. I think this can be closed.

To recap my opinion: I feel “zh” or “zh-Hans” would be preferred (per Unicode) over “zh-CN”, although they’re all valid per BCP-47. And cn is nonstandard per both.

Thanks, all. I think what we have works well, if I read this right.
