Limitations and Notes
- Simplified and Traditional Chinese conversion is not a one-to-one character mapping; converting back does not guarantee restoration of the original text.
- Taiwanese customary terms and Hong Kong settings process some regional vocabulary, but do not automatically complete full localization, grammatical adjustments, or fact-checking.
- Names, brands, classical Chinese, variant characters, and domain-specific terms may need to retain their original forms or be revised manually.
FAQ
What is the difference between Taiwan Traditional Chinese and Taiwan’s customary terms?
Taiwan Traditional Chinese mainly converts character forms; Taiwan customary wording also converts some terms into expressions commonly used in Taiwan, such as terms related to software and mice.
Why is the converted result different from the original?
Multiple traditional Chinese characters may correspond to the same simplified Chinese character, and regional terms may also be normalized, so the conversion itself is not lossless.
Can it be used for formal publication?
It can be used as a preliminary conversion, but formal publication still requires a native-language editor to proofread it sentence by sentence according to regional standards, proper nouns, and context.
