Traditional ↔ Simplified converter
This tool converts between Traditional Chinese (Hong Kong character forms) and Simplified Chinese in one click, powered by the open-source OpenCC dictionary, which handles common phrase differences as well as character-by-character mapping. It is handy for turning Hong Kong documents into Simplified for mainland partners, or converting mainland material back to Traditional.
Limitations
Traditional↔Simplified is not one-to-one: a single Simplified character can map to several Traditional ones (e.g. 干 → 干 / 乾 / 幹) depending on context. The tool is accurate for character conversion, but proper nouns, personal and place names and special contexts may still warrant a manual check.
Privacy
The dictionary loads into your browser and all conversion happens locally — your text is never sent to a server, so it is suitable for confidential or internal documents.
FAQ
How accurate is the conversion?
It uses the open-source OpenCC dictionary, handling common phrase differences as well as character-by-character mapping. Because Traditional↔Simplified has one-to-many cases (e.g. 干 / 乾 / 幹), some proper nouns or context-specific characters may still need a manual check.
Does it use Taiwan or Hong Kong wording?
Traditional output uses the Hong Kong (hk) character standard; Simplified uses Mainland China (cn). The tool focuses on character conversion and does not rewrite vocabulary into regional terms.
