A customer asked for a text conversion feature from traditional Chinese to simplified Chinese.
I did a little research and apparently it’s the kind of thing that can be automated quite readily and Mac OS X even has a system wide service for doing this.. there seems to be something built into OS X to perform those changes, but I’m no expert at internationalization..
Does anybody know how to perform this miracle?
Best regards,
Frank
I think the functionality you requested exists inside an app that Apple shipped with OS X–I don’t know of any built-in functionality.
If you are trying to implement conversion, it looks like wikimedia has some code that might do what you want, but you’ll have to convert it from PHP:

Also, it may not be just a matter of converting the characters, although that’s most of it… there are also phrases that are different in mainland Chinese (simplified characters) and other places (traditional characters).
