RE: 3-Letter Language Code

Not true.

Simplified and Traditional Chinese are two different code pages.

Traditional characters are used outside China (i.e. Taiwan, Hong Kong and
overseas Chinese). TWN is the largest user of traditional character but not
the only one.

If you are comfortable using USA for all the English pages, TWN maybe OK to
represent all traditional pages. However you can not use CHN to represent
TWN pages.

I think you should use 'chi' for both (though I'm not 100% sure). Simplified
and
Traditional Chinese are the same *language*.
