  Ref http://www.isi.edu/in-notes/iana/assignments/character-sets &&
  KDE/Qt/Xtt ... , there is a locale name called "zh_TW.Big5" but 
  just FreeBSD uses "zh_TW.BIG5". It might be a mistake when initial
  commit this locale name. I have a proposal to change the system locale 
  name(/usr/share/locale/) , make compatiable with the defination of IANA
  charset, and let modern I18N application happier. This proposal have
  no objection here(FreeBSD Chinese community, or said Taiwan).
  
  So I just remind that if the directory name follow with /usr/share/locale
  , it should be zh_TW.Big5. Yeah I'll commit this change ASAP, at least
  before FDP reorganization happen..
