• hk: Traditional Chinese (Hong Kong)
• tw: Traditional Chinese (Taiwan)
  • twp: Traditional Chinese (Taiwan) with native phrases
• t: Traditional Chinese (OpenCC standard)
• jp: Japanese Shinjitai

[!NOTE] Only Chrome and Firefox are tested. Other browsers may also work but are not guaranteed to.

• Converts whole text on a webpage with one click.
  • Can also convert dynamically rendered text in auto mode (using MutationObserver).
• Converts selected text on a webpage in right click context menu.

  • 嚴格區分「一簡對多繁」和「一簡對多異」。

When auto mode is enabled, a grey badge with the letter A appears on the corner of the extension icon.

All text in the webpage of the current active tab is converted whenever it loads or is updated.

[!NOTE] For performance reason, auto mode will not convert text on webpages which explicitly specify their lang attributes to be languages other than zh in their HTML documents.
