What this tool does
The Chinese converter switches text between Simplified and Traditional: paste a passage, pick a direction, and get the other script to copy or download.
It suits one manuscript that must serve both mainland and Hong Kong / Macao / Taiwan readers — product docs, course notes, articles. Everything runs in your browser; nothing is uploaded.
How to use
- Paste Chinese text Paste a whole passage or drop a .txt file; line breaks and punctuation are preserved.
- Choose a direction Simplified to Traditional for Hong Kong / Macao / Taiwan; Traditional to Simplified for mainland standard forms.
- Review terminology Read through the result — industry terms and proper nouns may need a manual tweak.
FAQ
Does it handle word-level differences like 软件 / 軟體?
No. It maps glyphs only, not vocabulary. Those differences need a domain lexicon and a manual pass.
Does 发 become 發 or 髮?
The most common reading, 發, is used. One-to-many cases cannot be resolved without context, so verify in specialised text.
What happens to rare characters?
They pass through unchanged. The table covers common characters; missing ones are never guessed. Under-converting leaves the character as is, while a wrong guess changes the meaning.
Are punctuation and English affected?
No. Only Chinese characters are replaced; punctuation, digits, Latin text and line breaks stay as they are.
Is my text uploaded?
No. Conversion happens in your browser; the text never leaves your device.
Do I still need to proofread?
Yes, give it a read before publishing. Glyphs are automatic, but terminology, proper nouns and regional usage still need a human.
Limits
Character mapping only — no vocabulary differences (软件 / 軟體) or regional usage.
