What this tool does

The result shows whether the text is mostly simplified, mostly traditional, or visibly mixed. Common characters are separated from script-specific characters so the warning focuses on meaningful differences.

Compares each CJK character against simplified-only and traditional-only lookup sets, counts common characters separately, then scores script consistency.

Common CJK characters are counted separately to reduce false mixed-script warnings.

Example

Paste mixed text such as “欢迎來到我們的网站” to see simplified and traditional characters counted separately.

Use cases

  • Localization QA for Chinese pages.
  • Checking mixed simplified/traditional copy.
  • Preparing clean text before translation.

Tips for better output

  • Choose one target writing system before publishing.
  • Use the mixed character list to find copy-paste inconsistencies.
  • Review place names and proper nouns manually.

Processing details

This tool uses a practical character dictionary for common simplified/traditional differences and Unicode CJK detection. It is designed for fast publishing checks, not full machine translation.

Some Chinese characters are shared by both writing systems. Shared characters cannot prove a script by themselves, so the score focuses on exclusive simplified or traditional forms.

FAQ

How can I tell if Chinese text is simplified or traditional?

Paste the text and run the checker. It counts simplified-only, traditional-only, and shared Chinese characters, then gives a consistency score.

How do I detect mixed Chinese characters in a document?

The mixed character list shows script-specific characters that do not match the dominant writing system.

How can I check if my website uses traditional Chinese consistently?

Set the mode to Traditional Only and review any simplified-only characters flagged in the output.

Why is my Chinese text considered mixed?

Mixed text usually contains both simplified-only and traditional-only characters, often from copied content or inconsistent localization.

How do I standardize Chinese writing before publishing?

Use the flagged character list to find inconsistent words, then convert or manually edit the text to one writing system.
