Chinese characters (traditional characters in Hong Kong and Macau)
What actually matters in this language
- Spoken Cantonese and standard written Chinese are far apart, so before starting we set whether subtitles use standard written Chinese or written colloquial Cantonese.
- Hong Kong and Macau use traditional characters, and we never mix them with simplified Mandarin material.
