Dear Maintainer,

A message catalog for Chinese is installed in
/usr/share/locale/zh/LC_MESSAGES/giac.mo .
This catalog is thus seen both by users in the People's Republic of China (locale zh_CN) and in Taiwan (locale zh_TW).
But the script used in these two countries is different (Simplified Chinese characters in zh_CN, Traditional Chinese characters in zh_TW), and due to decades-old political reasons, it is culturally inacceptable to present messages in Simplified Chinese to users in Taiwan.

The file should therefore be be moved:
/usr/share/locale/zh/LC_MESSAGES/giac.mo -> /usr/share/locale/zh_CN/LC_MESSAGES/giac.mo

We believe that the bug you reported is fixed in the latest version of
giac, which is due to be installed in the Debian FTP archive.

A summary of the changes between this version and the previous one is
attached.

Thank you for reporting the bug, which will now be closed.  If you
have further comments please address them to 1085989@bugs.debian.org,
and the maintainer will reopen the bug report if appropriate.
