Differences in Vocabulary Between Taiwan and Hong Kong

While both Taiwan and Hong Kong use Traditional Chinese, their vocabulary can differ. For example, "bicycle" is "自行車" in Taiwan but "腳踏車" in Hong Kong. This tool automatically handles some of these regional differences, but manual verification is always recommended for critical texts.
