FAQ
What is the difference between “with Taiwan vocabulary” and “characters only”?
“Characters only” changes the characters but keeps the words (软件 → 軟件). “With Taiwan vocabulary” also replaces words with the ones commonly used in Taiwan (软件 → 軟體, 内存 → 記憶體).
Why does 她的发很长 become 她的發很長?
The character 发 has two Traditional forms: 發 (to send, to issue) and 髮 (hair). When a dictionary phrase matches (e.g. 头发 → 頭髮) the context decides, but a character on its own gets the most common form, 發. Such characters appear in the “to check” list so you can fix them by hand.
Is my text sent to a server?
No. After the dictionary data is loaded from this site, the conversion runs entirely in your browser.
Notes & limitations
- What you enter is processed only on this page and is not sent to YUCTS servers.
- It replaces characters and words using a dictionary; it is not a translation and does not adjust meaning or style.
- When a character has several possible conversions (e.g. 发 → 發 or 髮, 后 → 後 or 后, 干 → 幹 or 乾) and no dictionary phrase matches, the most common one is chosen. Always review the “to check” list.
- Regional vocabulary (e.g. 软件 → 軟體) is replaced only for words in the dictionary and can sound unnatural in some contexts. Names and new words may not be converted correctly.
- The dictionaries are OpenCC data bundled with opencc-js 1.4.2; results may not match the official OpenCC for every input.
- Up to 100,000 characters can be converted at once. The first conversion downloads about 1 MB of dictionary data.
