About This Feature
Overview
WPS Office on iOS includes Simplified-Traditional Conversion for switching Chinese text between Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese during document editing. You can convert selected text directly, or place the cursor in a paragraph to convert the current paragraph.
This WPS Office feature is useful when you need to convert Simplified Chinese to Traditional Chinese on iPhone or iPad while editing an existing document.
Key capabilities include:
- Convert selected text for partial revisions.
- Convert the current paragraph by placing the cursor inside it.
- Automatically detect whether the current text is in Simplified or Traditional Chinese and switch it to the other writing form.
