Velobici: Can you add text to both Chinese Go Terms and Traditional Chinese Go Terms explaining the difference between the two pages? I look at them and don't understand. Perhaps, we need to indicate when a term is both current and traditional (for instance 白, there are many others). Would it be better to maintain a list of Chinese Go Terms and then have Traditional Chinese Go Terms only contain those that are not on Chinese Go Terms?
unkx80: You have a valid request, in fact, I would prefer to have both pages merged together into one. However, I have not figured how to enter traditional Chinese characters, so I will not do it right now.
tderz unkx80, please check out
MDBG free online Chinese-English dictionary which has a " 繁體 Switch to traditional Chinese " and also can display both (+jiantizi).
Some long time ago, I had put several languages links onto a WeiQi pronounciation discussion page here, but it seems to be all gone.
Velobici: Ah now I understand! The difference is the character set rather than the terms themselves.
This website allows you to enter pinyin and select the character. It has the HTML codes for both the traditional and the mainland characters: 國 and 国
unkx80: Noted and bookmarked the website, thanks very much. I can merge them, but I have higher priority tasks right now, so this won't be done very soon.
Velobici: Wonderful, thank you very much.
dej2 I have an auntie that is interested in learning Go (Weiqi) she only reads Chinese. Does anyone know of where I can find a pdf that has the rules of Go written in Chinese? All my sources are only in English.
unkx80: Must it be pdf? If not, there are many good Chinese websites out there that offer rules.
One such website I recall offhand is http://www.weiqi.org.sg/chinese/howtoplay.asp ... definitely not the best one, but one you can start with.
Velobici: Can you help me with 并 / 並 and 长 / 長 ? both are listed as stretch...is there a difference between the two terms ?
unkx80: You have been asking a lot of good and challenging questions.
Typically, 长 refers to any kind of stretch, while 立 is restricted to a stretch in a vertical direction w.r.t. the edge of the board, and 并 is restricted to a stretch in a horizontal direction.
here qualifies as a 长, but is more often referred to as 并.
