how to force utf-8/zh-cn?

You need to adjust your browser preferences. It will use whichever mo
file matches what your browser preferences are set to. There's no way
to force it server side - and never has been.

thank for your reply, I did force the setting and the header will look like
this:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Language" content="zh-cn">
  <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />

if not force the setting, the header will look like this:

  <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />

we know UTF-8 can have zh-TW,zh-CN, so which .mo file is used?

Whichever your browser is set to prefer. Again, there is no way to
force a language in Xibo. The code just doesn't exist. It will look at
the list of languages your browser tells us you prefer, and serve you
the first one we have a translation for.

So if your browser is set to zh-TW then it will use zh-TW.mo and if
it's set to zh-CN then it will use zh-CN.mo

thank for the reply, the browser got both "gb2312","utf-8", but both setting
won't use locale/zh_CN.mo, seems when xibo send out the http header, we can
easily to add one line code to force an encoding to use zh_CN.mo, just
forgot where to put this line....

You're not understanding what I'm saying. The character encoding is
irrelevant. In your browser preferences, there's a section for the
languages you prefer.

Firefox
http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Options%20window%20-%20Content%20panel#w_languages

Internet Explorer
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-GB/windows-vista/Change-your-Internet-Explorer-language-settings

Chrome
http://www.google.com/support/chrome/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=95416&from=95415&rd=1

If you set those correctly, then the interface will switch to that
language automatically.
