Cantonese and Chinese Traditional are both written in Chinese characters, so the translated output uses characters you already recognise. You can usually read the result aloud without transliteration, though spelling conventions and accented characters still differ.
Both Cantonese and Chinese Traditional belong to the Sino-Tibetan language family. Related languages tend to share vocabulary roots and comparable sentence structure, which generally makes machine translation between them more reliable — though false friends, words that look alike but mean different things, are also more common between relatives.
Both languages follow subject-verb-object (SVO) order, so clauses usually keep their shape during translation. Words tend to land in a similar position, which makes it easier to check a translation against the original even without fluency.
Cantonese: Approximately 86 million people speak Cantonese as their first language. Chinese Traditional: Hundreds of millions globally use Traditional Chinese for reading and writing, though the number of native speakers primarily using it is around 40–50 million, concentrated in Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macau.
