I have Kang-Shi Chinese dictionary and The New Yutang Chinese-English
Dictionary(The Chinese University of Hon Kong) and three other
Chinese dictionaries(not so small, 2464 pages).
There are some writting convention of the `two' Traditional Chinese

for the school(education) use. Some are variant, but some not.
