Option Descriptions

Conversion Mode

• Simplified to Traditional: Convert Simplified Chinese to Taiwan Traditional Chinese
• Traditional to Simplified: Convert Traditional Chinese to Simplified Chinese

Convert Name Field Translations

• Enabled: Also convert character name field translations
• Disabled: Only convert main text translations, keep name fields unchanged
• Recommendation: If name fields contain specific characters (such as name-specific characters), you can disable this option

Follow Text Protection Rules

• Enabled: Follow the current project's text protection rules during conversion to protect game codes, control characters, etc. from being converted
• Disabled: Convert all text directly without applying protection rules
• Recommendation: For game text, it is recommended to enable this to avoid damaging code segments; for plain text, it can be disabled

Notes

• It is recommended to backup the project before conversion, in case you need to restore the original text
• After conversion is complete, it is recommended to check key texts to ensure the conversion results meet expectations
• Some game-specific terms or personal names may not be converted correctly and require manual correction
• Output files will have suffix _S2T (Simplified to Traditional) or _T2S (Traditional to Simplified)

Technical Details

• This feature uses the OpenCC library for Traditional-Simplified conversion
• S2TW rule: Mainland China Simplified -> Taiwan Traditional
• T2S rule: Taiwan Traditional -> Mainland China Simplified
• Text protection is implemented through regular expression matching, consistent with text protection rules during translation
