PHP program simplified to traditional Chinese

With the process of globalization, more and more applications need to support multiple languages. Chinese is a very complex language. It has two different writing methods: Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese. For an application, if it wants to get a better user experience in different regions, it must support both Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese.

Now, PHP has become one of the mainstream technologies for Web development. Many websites and applications are developed using PHP. If a PHP program wants to support multiple languages, it needs to support both Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese writing. In this article, we will introduce how to use PHP to convert Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese.

1. The difference between Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese

The difference between Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese lies in the way they are written. Simplified Chinese refers to the simplified way of writing Chinese characters, which was introduced by the Chinese government in the 1950s. Traditional Chinese refers to the traditional writing of Chinese characters. It is rarely used in mainland China and is mainly used in Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macau and other regions. The difference between Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese is not only the difference in glyphs, but also the differences in wording and expression.

2. PHP realizes the conversion of Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese

PHP has many open source libraries that can be used to realize the conversion of Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese. Here we introduce Ti3 Simplified and Traditional Use of conversion libraries.

use \Ti3\Ti3Mb4\Ti3Mb4;

// 创建对象并设置繁体转简体
$ti3Mb4 = new Ti3Mb4();
$ti3Mb4->setTraditional(false);

// 将“简体中文”转化为“繁体中文”
echo $ti3Mb4->mb4Convert('简体中文');
// 输出：簡體中文

// 将“繁体中文”转化为“简体中文”
$ti3Mb4->setTraditional(true);
echo $ti3Mb4->mb4Convert('繁體中文');
// 输出：繁体中文
