Chinese to Chinese Conversion
Over 700,000 items
Supports SC to TC conversions and vice versa
Supports orthographic and lexemic conversion
Overview
In 1996, CJKI launched a project whose goal was to develop a Chinese to Chinese conversion (C2C) system that supports Simplified to Traditional Chinese (SC>TC) and Traditional to Simplified Chinese (TC>SC) conversions that give near-perfect results. Orthographic conversion is mapping simplified forms to traditional forms on a character and word levels, such as SC 国家 to TC 國家 (‘country’) and vice versa, while lexemic conversion is mapping such as vocabulary items on a semantic level, such as SC 出租车 to TC 計程車 (‘taxi’) and vice versa.
C2C has been a major undertaking that required a considerable investment of funds and human resources. To this end, we have engaged in the following research and development activities:
In-depth investigation of technical and linguistic issues related to C2C
Research on Chinese word segmentation technology
Construction of comprehensive SC-TC mapping tables
Attributes
Code level mappings
In the SC-to-TC and TC-to-SC directions
Semantic classification codes
Such as orthographic or lexemic codes
Lexemic mappings
In the SC-to-TC and TC-to-SC directions
Orthographic mappings
In the SC-to-TC and TC-to-SC directions
Phonological information
Such as pinyin and zhuyin
Grammatical information
Such as part-of-speech codes

Practical Applications
C2C is ideal for applications such as:
Machine translation into TC
Such as convert SC to TC instead of English to TC
SC-to-TC and TC-to-SC conversion
Machine translation into SC
Such as convert TC to SC instead of English to SC
