This page describes special markups found in LanguageConverter, a system which converts between language variants via means of character/word replacement. In all examples below, characters in lowercase are used to represent Simplified Chinese, and UPPERCASE ones represent Traditional Chinese.

개념
LanguageConverter markups looks like:



Where flags are described below, and variant names are language codes (like zh-cn or zh-tw).

Fallback among variants is available. In the following examples designed for Chinese, zh-cn and zh-sg are variants written in the zh-hans script, while zh-hk, zh-mo are variants written in the zh-hant script. For example, according to the  definition in LanguageZh.php, if no rules for zh-hk were found, the converter would try using definitions for zh-hant, zh-mo, and zh-tw.

In this example you may notice that zh-mo and zh-sg are absent from most examples. This is due to their high similarity to other variants, zh-hk and zh-cn respectively.

Exceptions
Language converter avoids converting anything found in "code" blocks like , , as well as the  tag used for carrying executable JavaScript. Putting an empty conversion rule block  inside these tags will function as a "force convert" switch for the converter. This hack can be useful for code samples nested in these tags.

A caveat, however, is that this switch doesn't seem to work for the extension-provided syntaxhighlight tags which eventually generates a  nested with elements (T34943). The switch also won't work with scripts not originally included with the page's HTML source that LC is designed to operate on.

MediaWiki messages are not processed by LC. This inconvenience is tracked in T170916.
