Traditional/Simplified

Convert text between Traditional and Simplified Chinese.

The extension has two actions:

  • 简 (jiǎn), which converts to Simplified Chinese.
  • 繁 (fán), which converts to Traditional Chinese.

Neither action appears if the selected text contains no Chinese characters.

Notes

Author: Nick Moore

The conversion is performed by the tongwen-core library with the tongwen-dict dictionaries, both MIT Licensed.

The regex is based on "CJK Unified Ideographs" and "CJK Unified Ideographs Extension A" from Table 18-1 "Blocks Containing Han Ideographs" in Unicode Standard.
