>  - :code: zh-CN
   :native_name: 中文（简体）
+  :english_name: Chinese (Simplified)
 - :code: zh-TW
   :native_name: 中文（繁體）
+  :english_name: Chinese (Traditional)
 - :code: zh-HK
   :native_name: 中文（香港）
+  :english_name: Chinese (Hong Kong)

I think it makes sense to keep Simplified, Traditional, and Hong Kong options in the language menu.
In the diaspora / Chinatowns in the US, there are many people who continue to use Traditional Chinese ([Reddit](https://www.reddit.com/r/ChineseLanguage/comments/7aokl2/do_chinese_speakers_in_the_usa_use_traditional_or/)), and when I visited Kuching, Malaysia there were signs with both.
Setting the page language to Hong Kong can change the appearance of fonts. I don't have specific character examples, but Google does have a separate Noto Sans HK font: https://fonts.google.com/noto/specimen/Noto+Sans+HK
On vector map labels, both zh-TW and zh-HK will be resolved to `name:zh-Hant` as that's what's available in the language plugin and vector tile providers. When I was reviewing tagging in Hong Kong, about 5% of places have `name:zh-Hant` or `name:zh-Hans`, and virtually no places use `name:zh-HK` or `name:zh-Hant-HK`, so I don't think we need to change anything there.
