Description Mingli Yuan 2004-09-11 07:56:08 UTC
Current Chinese language speakers use two different writing systems - simplified and 
traditional Chinese. Automatic conversion between them is critical for the future of 
Chinese Wikipedia. Current conversion tools such as libiconv convert characters between 
two different encodings, but situation we face now is a conversion inside Unicode. 
Unicode is include both simplified and traditional Chinese characters. for most 
simplified and traditional Chinese characters there exist a one-to-one mapping, but 
there still are about 100 pairs of simplified and traditional Chinese characters which 
are not one-to-one, and there is no space between two adjacent words in a Chinese 
sentence. So completely automatic conversion need some AI features, and is difficult, 
but we can introduce some kind of new markup to solve the problem.

I have been working on this issue lately, and will probably continue to work on
it for a while. There is a test site for this at
