OpenCC is an opensource project for conversion between Traditional Chinese and Simplified Chinese, supporting character-level conversion, phrase-level conversion, variant conversion and regional idioms among Mainland China, Taiwan and Hong kong.

tcl-opencc is Tcl bindings for OpenCC (libopencc). OpenCC version requires >= 0.4.3, and >= 1.0.1 is better.

I only test tcl-opencc under openSUSE LEAP 15.0 and Ubuntu 14.04

Users need install OpenCC development files. Below is an example for openSUSE:

 sudo zypper in opencc-devel

Below is an example for Ubuntu 14.04:

 sudo apt-get install opencc libopencc-dev

Building under most UNIX systems is easy, just run the configure script and then run make. For more information about the build process, see the tcl/unix/README file in the Tcl src dist. The following minimal example will install the extension in the /opt/tcl directory.

$ cd tcl-opencc
$ ./configure --prefix=/opt/tcl
$ make
$ make install

If you need setup directory containing tcl configuration (tclConfig.sh), below is an example:

$ cd tcl-opencc
$ ./configure --with-tcl=/opt/activetcl/lib
$ make
$ make install

Convert Traditional Chinese to Simplified Chinese:

package require opencc
 
opencc handle "t2s.json"
set outstring [handle convert "請提供預設記憶體大小以及硬碟容量，以及需要的清單。"]
puts $outstring
handle close

Convert Simplified Chinese to Traditional Chinese:

package require opencc
 
opencc handle "s2t.json"
puts [handle convert "新浪网新闻中心是新浪网最重要的频道之一。"]
puts [handle convert "朝韩首脑再度会晤 半岛外交斡旋紧锣密鼓"]
handle close

If OpenCC version is 0.4.3, the config file is ini file format, not json. Below is an example:

package require opencc
 
opencc handle "zht2zhs.ini"
set outstring [handle convert "請提供預設記憶體大小以及硬碟容量，以及需要的清單。"]
puts $outstring
handle close

And another example for OpenCC 0.4.3:

package require opencc
 
opencc handle "zhs2zht.ini"
puts [handle convert "新浪网新闻中心是新浪网最重要的频道之一。"]
puts [handle convert "朝韩首脑再度会晤 半岛外交斡旋紧锣密鼓"]
handle close
