CakePHP: Chinese translation error

Question

My site has three language: russian, english and chinese. I created .pot files with cake console and changed their extension to .po. Then, I put them in Locale/rus, Locale/eng and Locale/chi. Russian and English translations are working perfectly, but Chinese translation are loading Russian .po instead of its own

Answer 1

I guess the problem is that chi is the bibliographic alias, you can use it for Config.language, but the folder has to use the terminological name, which is zho.

The terminological codes (first one per language) should be used if possible.
They are the ones building the path in /APP/Locale/[code]/
The bibliographic codes are aliases.
