For Wiki Loves Monuments I created, just as last year, a group of pages to contain the text of the CentralNotice banner in the several languages. Pages like: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Centralnotice-wlm_2013-text/de https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Centralnotice-wlm_2013-text/fr https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Centralnotice-wlm_2013-text/nl All these languages work perfectly fine. On request of users/organisers from Hong Kong, China, and Taiwan we also created: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Centralnotice-wlm_2013-text/zh https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Centralnotice-wlm_2013-text/zh-cn https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Centralnotice-wlm_2013-text/zh-tw It appears that the zh-... banners aren't recognized by the CentralNotice extension as language, I noticed they do not show up in the available languages list, while they are created. (Also be-tarask is missing there.) From local users who have set there settings on zh-tw and also other variants, those variant isn't shown, but instead another Chinese variant (I suspect 'zh'). I don't know why these variants can't be used, while in the preferences we can set these Chinese variants as language.
Can we verify that whether users are seeing something wrong on user viewing interface, rather than editing or managing interface? If so, please provide related language settings (uselang / preferences etc).

Also potentially useful will be what http://geoiplookup.wikimedia.org and http://bits.wikimedia.org/geoiplookup return.

We did earlier today a fix to the banner, I asked them if they still have the same issue.
Sorry, 2 messages in mistake
Did anyone ever get to the bottom of this?
