SharePoint Supported Languages and Culture codes

Recently I needed to translate a site in Chinese for single user. Easy to implement - go to users user profile and set its preferred language to Chinese. And allow you site language to view in chines from site setting -> language settings. Right?

No. Because you will get 5 types of  Chinese language while in language settings there are two different options. So what to do. Below is SharePoint Supported Language and Culture codes that may come handy for such scenarios:
