Sorry that I messed up the original posting of topic. I will restart by asking for help from anyone who might know much more about MS Office 2016 word language conversion tools to convert traditional Chinese to simplified Chinese or vise versa.
I have translated a book in traditional Chinese, and now need to add simplified Chinese version.

You might want to repost this to the forum dedicated to Office issues: https://www.proz.com/forum/office_applications-72.html
Stating all the characteristics of your setup (e.g. version of Windows) might help with troubleshooting any additional problems that might arise, for instance with installing the appropriate language package, if necessary. Good luck!

First of all, it's good to notice there are still moderators who take their job seriously (this thread was moved to the right forum section; thanks). It still does not have a title though.
I should note Stepan's link is about converting Traditional Chinese to Simplified Chinese. Ralf's link would seem to be about translation (from one language into another). Not very relevant to the current discussion.
A warning: currently, there seems to be no perfect converting tool.... See more First of all, it's good to notice there are still moderators who take their job seriously (this thread was moved to the right forum section; thanks). It still does not have a title though.

A warning: currently, there seems to be no perfect converting tool. Users report that some manual correction of the resulting text might be necessary.
Note: MS Office convertor is not the only tool. Perhaps some exploration of the various, though limited options would be in order.
Cultural note: In Romania, when one distorts someone's name, one owes that person a lamb.
@Wei: No problem. ▲ Collapse

I hadn't realised the Microsoft automatic translation could be so good.
I would prefer English as well. In the conversion, some nuances from traditional Chinese are obviously lost.
Rolf, please forgive me!
