Translates between Traditional and Simplified Chinese in pure Node.js

(This library use OpenCC for its dictionary database and test data)

OpenCC is a translation library for Traditional and Simplified Chinese with dictionary of localized phrases and verbs. But it only runs on Python (or Node.js with Python installed).

node-opencc is a brand new project that imports OpenCC database and test case, and translates text without installing any native components.

Usage

node-opencc supports Node.js and modern browsers (with Webpack).

const opencc = require('node-opencc');

opencc.hongKongToSimplified('滑鼠') === '鼠标';
opencc.traditionalToHongKong('僞') === '偽';

node-opencc supports the following types of translations:

| Function name | Translation | | ------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------- | | hongKongToSimplified | Hong Kong to Simplified Chinese | | simplifiedToHongKong | Simplified Chinese to Hong Kong | | simplifiedToTraditional | Simplified Chinese to Traditional Chinese | | simplifiedToTaiwan | Simplified Chinese to Taiwan | | simplifiedToTaiwanWithPhrases | Simplified Chinese to Taiwan with phrases | | traditionalToHongKong | Traditional Chinese to Hong Kong | | traditionalToSimplified | Traditional Chinese to Simplified Chinese | | traditionalToTaiwan | Traditional Chinese to Taiwan | | taiwanToSimplified | Taiwan to Simplified Chinese | | taiwanToSimplifiedWithPhrases | Taiwan to Simplified Chinese with phrases |

• Multiple alternative phrases, verbs, and characters
