About:
OpenCC is an open-source library for conversion between Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese. It supports region-specific vocabularies and provides high accuracy through a rule-based approach and extensive dictionaries. The tool is designed for developers and can be used as a library or command-line utility.

Key Features:

High accuracy with support for region-specific vocabularies (e.g., Taiwan, Hong Kong)
Command-line interface and C++/Python/Java libraries
Lossless conversion between different Chinese variants
Extensible dictionary and rule-based configuration

Use Cases:

Converting content between Mainland China and Taiwan/Hong Kong standards
Integrating Chinese conversion into applications and build pipelines
Standardizing text for NLP and search indexing

Alternatives:

opencc-python – Python bindings for OpenCC; OpenCC itself provides the core engine and multi-language support.
ccconv – Alternative converter; OpenCC is more widely adopted and supports multiple region-specific dictionaries.
