[Translators] Translations for VLC 1.2.0

[Dean Lee]

Hi, Xtophe,

I have just finished reviewing the Simp Chinese translation. Please
find it here:
http://2.xslidian.sinaapp.com/vlc-zh_CN.zip

Attached are two options of the patch.
I guess zh_CN-gb18030.diff should be used, while the other one is for
an Unicode installer.

Thanks for informing.

Best wishes,
Dean (@xslidian)
