Introduction

This is a tool for conversion of Chinese characters (traditional/simplified) in docx files based on OpenCC.

It does not only do the conversion, but also generates an html file containing marks on characters which have alternative forms in the conversion.

Setup

1. Clone this repo.
2. Download opencc.dll here and put it in py/clib/bin/. NOTE: this release is modified based on OpenCC, and the modification can be seen here. It is compiled for Windows 10 64bit version. Please download the source code and compile it for other platforms.
3. Download config files and dictionaries, and put them all in py/clib/share/opencc/. (For better performance, dictionaries could be compiled into ocd2 format and be put in the previous folder. Also they can be found in opencc package for python.)
4. Create your own config files or dictionaries if you wish.

Usage

python docx_char_cnv.py <filename-for-conversion> <config>
# for example
python docx_char_cnv.py ./trad.docx t2s.json
python docx_char_cnv.py ./simp.docx ./my_config_file.json

The converted file will have a _modified suffix after filename-for-conversion in the same folder.

An html file with the same filename will also be generated, in which all characters having alternative forms in the conversion will be marked with red color and a "◣" symbol behind.

As for the configuration of customized config files, please refer to files in sample folder.
