Lyrics change to mandarin

[el2521]

I don’t like that the lyrics on Chinese is written in traditional Chinese and not in mandarin. Many Chinese people only can understand and read mandarin and the song is also singed in mandarin and not in traditional Chinese. I also want to read and sing to the song but can’t understand traditional Chinese, please help, thanks!

Hey @el2521,

Thanks for reaching out. We've moved your post to the Help board as it better fits here.

Please note that the lyrics on Spotify are provided by Musixmatch. If you'd like to see a Translate option implemented, make sure to vote for this idea.

We hope this helps. Let us know if you have other questions.

There is no such thing as "singing in traditional Chinese" unless you mean Taiwanese Mandarin or Cantonese outside mainland China.

Hello,

For some reasons, Spotify does not allow lyrics to be displayed in Simplified Chinese.
Thus, all Chinese music is transcribed into Traditional Chinese. Those that are not yet are being converted from simplified to traditional.

It is not impossible in the future that Spotify will allow the display of simplified Chinese/Mandarin translations (which are already available through Musixmatch), but for the moment all lyrics are transcribed into Traditional Chinese.

I can understand that this can be problematic for reasons of linguistic understanding, but it is the best possible choice so that the lyrics are visible to as many people as possible in the world, as well as a choice linked to the problems linked to the Simplified Chinese.

Thanks for reading.
