Zhtw FAQs

Question 1

Can Zhtw be used without AI assistant integration?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Zhtw provides a Command Line Interface (CLI) for automated linting and in-place fixing of files. You can use it to lint individual files, apply fixes, or preview changes, with customizable rule profiles for different use cases.

Question 2

What is Zhtw and what does it do?

Accepted Answer

Zhtw is a linguistic linter for Traditional Chinese (zh-TW) that enforces Taiwan Ministry of Education (MoE) standards for punctuation, vocabulary, and character shapes. It's designed to prevent linguistic drift towards Mainland Chinese (zh-CN) conventions, especially in AI-generated content.

Question 3

How does Zhtw integrate with AI coding assistants?

Accepted Answer

Zhtw utilizes the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to integrate directly with AI coding assistants like Claude Code and OpenCode. This allows AI models to detect, correct, and avoid Mainland Chinese linguistic issues in real-time, leveraging Zhtw's rules and resources.

Question 4

What specific linguistic issues can Zhtw correct?

Accepted Answer

Zhtw corrects a wide range of issues including incorrect punctuation (e.g., half-width vs. full-width, curly quotes), Mainland vocabulary (e.g., 軟件→軟體), non-standard character shapes (e.g., 裏→裡), improper spacing, politically colored terms, and inconsistent casing. It applies over 1000 vocabulary rules and 15 casing rules.

Question 5

Why is Zhtw important for Traditional Chinese content creation?

Accepted Answer

Modern Chinese lacks standardization, and AI models often default to Mainland Chinese (zh-CN) terminology due to data imbalance. Zhtw ensures that zh-TW content adheres to official Taiwan MoE standards, maintaining accuracy, cultural relevance, and preventing communication misunderstandings across regions.
