what is chinese traditional and chinese simplified
In mainland China, Simplified Chinese is what is used in writing, while in Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macau, and many overseas Chinese communities, Traditional Chinese is used. Therefore, when requesting a translation into Chinese, it is important to be aware of what region the text will be directed to. If this is targeted for the Peopleâs Republic of China, or an international conference, most likely we will want to use Simplified Chinese, as Simplified is the standard there. And otherwise, if these are texts for regions such as Hong Kong, for example, we should consider the translation into Traditional Chinese.
Traditional Chinese (or Chinese Traditional): The WRITTEN text (of Chinese) that is used in Hong Kong and. nowadays. As its name tells, this is a traditional version that had been written by Chinese people for thousands of years.
