About This Feature
Overview
Traditional-Simplified Conversion is a built-in Chinese text processing feature in WPS Presentation for Windows. It lets you convert Traditional Chinese to Simplified Chinese, or Simplified Chinese to Traditional Chinese, and adjust how the conversion is applied before you run it.
Core capabilities include:
- Traditional to Simplified: Convert selected Traditional Chinese text directly into Simplified Chinese.
- Simplified to Traditional: Convert selected Simplified Chinese text directly into Traditional Chinese.
- Conversion settings: Choose character-based or word-based conversion, and apply the conversion to the entire document or selected slides.
This feature is useful for presentation localization, regional content adaptation, and reuse of slide decks across Chinese-language audiences.

| Capability Summary | In WPS Presentation, you can convert Traditional Chinese to Simplified Chinese, convert Simplified Chinese to Traditional Chinese, and open Chinese conversion settings with character-based or word-based options for the whole document or selected slides. | Microsoft Word provides Simplified/Traditional Chinese conversion in some Chinese language environments, typically under Review > Language, and the published guidance mainly focuses on document text. | Google Docs officially supports full-document translation. For selected text, Google provides official add-on and Apps Script examples rather than a built-in Traditional/Simplified Chinese conversion command. | Notion AI can translate an entire page or selected content into another language while keeping page structure and formatting. | Adobe Acrobat can translate PDF content into other languages, with options for all pages, one page, or specific text while preserving layout in supported workflows. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: Built directly for presentation editing in WPS Presentation. Distinct: Includes character-based or word-based conversion and scope controls for selected slides or the full document. | Compared with WPS: Microsoft's published guidance is more document-focused, and public instructions for slide-based Traditional/Simplified Chinese conversion are less direct. | Compared with WPS: Google Docs focuses on translation workflows rather than dedicated Traditional/Simplified Chinese conversion, and selected-text workflows may require an add-on or script. | Compared with WPS: Notion focuses on AI translation for workspace content rather than in-slide Traditional/Simplified Chinese conversion. | Compared with WPS: Adobe focuses on PDF translation and layout retention rather than Chinese script conversion inside presentation editing. |

Overall Conclusion
If you need direct Traditional-Simplified Chinese conversion while editing presentation slides, WPS fits that workflow more closely. The other products provide language conversion or translation features as well, but their official guidance is centered more on documents, workspace pages, or PDFs.
