Yes, it should.

FYI: here are the differences:

Chinese (Simplified)
  * Locales: zh_CN, zh_SG
  * Language-packs:
   * language-pack-zh-hans-base
   * language-pack-zh-hans
   * for Gnome: language-pack-gnome-zh-hans-base and
language-pack-gnome-zh-hans
   * for KDE: language-pack-kde-zh-hans-base and language-pack-kde-zh-hans
  * language-support packages:
   * language-support-fonts-zh-hans
   * language-support-input-zh-hans

Chinese (Traditional)
  * Locales: zh_TW, zh_HK, zh-MO
  * Language-packs:
   * language-pack-zh-hant-base
   * language-pack-zh-hant
   * for Gnome: language-pack-gnome-zh-hant-base and
language-pack-gnome-zh-hant
   * for KDE: language-pack-kde-zh-hant-base and language-pack-kde-zh-hant
  * language-support packages:
   * language-support-fonts-zh-hant
   * language-support-input-zh-hant

The language-selector-common package (on the LiveCD) contains a script
/usr/bin/check-language-support which when called with -l $LANGCODE
returns a list of space separated packages which should get installed
for that language.
Example usage:
/usr/bin/check-language-support -l de
/usr/bin/check-language-support -l zh-hans

Hope this helps.
