Is there a reliable way to convert a given set of Simplified Chinese characters into their equivalent Traditional Chinese chars in a C# program?

Edit: If you use google translate, it's pretty reliable conversion from one to the other, however, how to do the conversion in C#?

    closed because "It's difficult to tell what is being asked here"?? I mean, really?? The answer, of course, is that there is no reliable way; but have a look at the answers of this question http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5998607/conversion-from-simplified-to-traditional-chinese – devio Dec 06 '12 at 18:15

    I think this a decent question, why has everyone closed it? – Richard Schneider Dec 06 '12 at 18:15
  • I've lived in Asia and Taipei for years. I've learnt some Mandarin (Traditional) and can sometimes figure out Shanghai (Simplified). So did Beijing come up with a mapping algorithm when simplified was invented? – Richard Schneider Dec 06 '12 at 18:23

Use UNIHAN database: http://www.unicode.org/charts/unihan.html

It is said: The Unihan Database organizes information relating to the properties of CJK Unified Ideographs. Unihan Database Documentation is available in UAX #38.
