How Chinese is written on this site, on every device you are signed in on.
Taiwan and Hong Kong both write 繁體 and differ from each other on 58 characters, so the two are offered apart rather than as one Traditional.
The reading standard follows the characters. 简体 is read as 普通话 and both 繁體 writings as 國語, so there is no third choice to make about it.
Hiding them leaves the characters and the translation, which is how to read a page as a test of yourself.
A reading above the characters keeps each syllable with the character it belongs to. A character is spaced to fit whatever is written over it, so a line of its own keeps the characters evenly spaced.
Every syllable is painted by its tone, in the same five colours everywhere on the site.
