What is OpenCC?

Open Chinese Convert (OpenCC) is an open source project for conversions between Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese and Japanese Kanji (Shinjitai). It supports character-level and phrase-level conversion, character variant handling, and regional vocabulary variants across Mainland China, Taiwan and Hong Kong. This is not a translation tool between Mandarin and Cantonese, etc.
