Home/Taiwanese Mandarin/All pairs/設定 vs 设置
to set · Preferred written form
Preferred written form The two preferred forms differ by a single character. In Taiwan the standard term is 設定; on the Mainland it is 设置 - both point at “to set”.
Taiwan’s Ministry of Education dictionaries record 設定、設置 for this concept. The Mainland standard is among them - the difference is which form each side makes the default.
设置 is HSK 4 vocabulary on the HSK 3.0 list.
Pair source: the OpenCC cross-strait conversion table, which maps each Mainland term to the form used in Taiwan.
