About Simplified to Traditional conversion
Character and regional phrase conversion with OpenCC
The workbench loads opencc-js in your browser. Standard mode changes character forms, while the Taiwan and Hong Kong profiles also apply supported regional phrase mappings. You can reverse direction without leaving the page.
Review regional wording manually
Character conversion is not the same as localization. Mainland terms, product names, place names, and idioms may need wording changes beyond the converted characters, so use the output as a draft before publishing user-facing copy.
FAQ
Common questions and answers about this topic.
What does this tool do?
It converts in both directions and offers standard character, Mainland/Taiwan wording, and Mainland/Hong Kong wording profiles.
Does it handle phrase-level conversion?
Yes, when you choose a Taiwan or Hong Kong regional profile. Names, brands, specialist terms, and context-dependent wording still need review.
Is my data sent to any server?
No, Simplified-to-Traditional Chinese conversion runs entirely in your browser. Your text is converted locally with JavaScript and never transmitted to any server.
How is this different from Google Translate?
This is a conversion, not a translation. It rewrites character forms, and optionally regional wording, with OpenCC while keeping your sentence structure, punctuation, and line breaks exactly as you wrote them, so the output stays a faithful copy of the original text instead of a machine rewrite.
What is the difference between the standard mode and the Taiwan mode?
Standard mode only changes character forms, so 鼠标 becomes 鼠標. The Taiwan mode also applies the phrase mappings supported by the OpenCC dictionary, so 鼠标 becomes 滑鼠; the Hong Kong mode works the same way with the Hong Kong dictionary. Only mappings in the dictionary are applied, and names, brands, and context-dependent terms still need a manual review.
Can I convert subtitles or a long document?
Yes. Paste the plain text, such as the contents of a .srt subtitle file or an article, and the converted result keeps every line and timestamp in place. You can copy the result, download it as a .txt file, or swap the direction to convert back. Formatted files such as Word or PDF need to be pasted as text first.
