A LITTLE HELP. BACK TO THE GOOD STUFF.

Read in another language

Your language, your way. Start with the site switch; translate the rest when needed.

Many pages are available in English and Taiwanese Traditional Chinese. Use the 中文 / EN switch at the top of the site.

New forum posts and replies receive a saved English and Traditional Chinese version after posting. Some older posts, pending translations, names and linked pages stay in their original language. For those—or any other language—use your browser or phone.

These guides translate written text, not audio. Song titles and artist names may stay in their original language.

Not translating? Try this.

Mixed languages, missing buttons & images
  1. Choose English or 中文 on our site first. For a single untranslated comment, select that text and use your browser’s selection translation.
  2. Reload after new posts appear, then try Translate again. Browser translation may miss text loaded later.
  3. For text inside an image, use Circle to Search, Live Text or Google Lens. Full-page translation may not read it.

Browser and screen translation may send page text or screenshots to the software provider. Automatic forum translations can make mistakes; the original is always available.
