I am seeking help from all Drupal experts here in displaying content Simplified Chinese characters on the website from nodes stored in Traditional Chinese characters.

Drupal 4.5.1 is installed in my website and all data (including nodes) are stored in UTF-8 (as with default settings) and I typed all Chinese characters in Traditional Chinese format with Unicode charset for all nodes (stories and blocks, etc.).

Is there any method (e.g. module, patch, tuning .htaccess, separate-site, etc.) to CONVERT those Traditional Chinese characters to Simplified Chinese characters in REAL-TIME and display content on the website with same hostname (or even website with different subdomain) while connecting to the same database.

Please kindly advise.

Thanks.

Well, if you have a translation table to map from one to the other, this can be done with a filter. In that case, the easiest solution is to use drupal's multisite features to set up the 2nd site, but share almost all tables between the two, except the filter table and the cache table. That way, you can enable the filter on one site, but not on the other, while they still share the same data.

Check the example filter module.
