I recently added dino to Fedora, and rpmlint seems unhappy with the locale in the package:

The upstream locale is zh_Hans, which has similar error messages. I know very little about this topic - could someone enlighten me about what is upsetting wrong here?
It's not a fully specified locale but it's not wrong either. Per the CLDR likely subtag rules it would expand to zh_Hans_CN.
It specifies simplified chinese without any specific country being targeted - so it's the equivalent of en compared to en_US say.
Technically en_Latn would a closer equivalent but nobody ever bothers to specify a script for english because there is only one option whereas chinese has several so it is normal to add either the script or the country or both.
