Add conversion to Traditional Chinese #146

Closed theonen00b closed 2 years ago

theonen00b commented 2 years ago

I notice that extension gets Chinese songs through sources using Simplified characters. As I prefer reading Traditional characters it would be good if you could implement an option to convert the lyrics to Traditional characters. Using a project such as https://github.com/BYVoid/OpenCC is an option.

Also when I have a song title in Traditional Chinese it is only possible to get the lyrics when searching for them manually (the result will be in Simplified regardless).

No, this is beyond the scope of OpenLyrics.

You are free to make these edits manually using the available editor or use (or build) a separate tool to operate on the tags/text files saved by open lyrics. Scanning over the docs for OpenCC, it seems like it would be pretty simple to build a separate tool to do exactly this (or possibly even just use the command line tools that it comes with).
