Chinese Variants Linter

Detects inconsistent Chinese usage in web input fields and offers single-item replacement suggestions.

Chinese Variants Linter checks what you type in web pages and points out characters and wording that don't match the Chinese variant you are writing for. Pick a target, and it suggests replacements right where you are typing — for example "软件" vs. "軟體", or "出租车" vs. "計程車". Useful for content editing, customer-support replies, form filling, and proofreading before publishing across regions. HIGHLIGHTS • Four targets: Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese (Taiwan), Traditional Chinese (Hong Kong), and generic Traditional Chinese. • Built-in term mappings covering computing and the internet, daily life, place names and more, with Mainland, Taiwan and Hong Kong usage. When a term is uncertain, the hint is softened; wording that is common on both sides gets only a light hint, to keep false alarms low. • Context-aware conversion: tells apart look-alike characters with different meanings, such as "面条" and "方面", or "皇后" and "后来". • Checks as you type: after you pause, and immediately after you paste. Works in text boxes, multi-line text areas and rich-text editors. • Fix in place: click an underlined issue to replace it, ignore it once, or add it to your allowed phrases. A review panel lets you go through issues one by one, or accept them all at once. • Convert a selection: select text and convert it to the target variant in one click; the result is written back into the editor. • Custom dictionary: keep your own phrases per region (original → replacement), edit them, and import or export CSV or OpenCC-format entries. Your phrases take priority over the built-in terms. • Per-site control: turn checking on only for the sites you choose, or enable it everywhere. • Adjustable detection strength, allowed phrases and keyboard shortcuts. • Interface languages: English, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese (Taiwan) and Traditional Chinese (Hong Kong). PRIVACY • All checking happens locally on your device. Page content, settings and dictionaries are never uploaded, and there is no analytics or tracking. • Off by default: no website is checked until you turn it on for that site (or enable "all sites"). On sites where it is off, the extension changes nothing on the page. • Minimal permissions: "storage" to save your settings, and "activeTab" to recognize the current site when you open the popup. • Terms of Service and Privacy Policy can be read inside the extension, at the bottom of the settings page.
