Hong Kong people have always been using Taiwan translations, and
work together, despite the fact that some usage of words doesn't really
fit Hong Kong users. But recent development changed the situation --
there are wide spread efforts of using semi-political propaganda spreading
words, which doesn't really fit Hong Kong people's style, so there is need
to make sure Hong Kong users have more natural and comfortable UI now.

But indeed, I'll make sure translations won't differ too much by coorperating
with people in fedora-trans-zh_tw. The difference of word usage is not
huge (as between simplified/traditional chinese), so everything is under
control.
