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.

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

simplifiedToHongKong	Simplified Chinese to Hong Kong
simplifiedToTraditional	Simplified Chinese to Traditional Chinese
simplifiedToTaiwan	Simplified Chinese to Taiwan

traditionalToHongKong	Traditional Chinese to Hong Kong
traditionalToSimplified	Traditional Chinese to Simplified Chinese
traditionalToTaiwan	Traditional Chinese to Taiwan
taiwanToSimplified	Taiwan to Simplified Chinese
