Home/Taiwanese Mandarin/All pairs/文件 vs 文档
document · Preferred written form
Preferred written form The two preferred forms differ by a single character. In Taiwan the standard term is 文件; on the Mainland it is 文档 - both point at “document”.
Taiwan’s Ministry of Education dictionaries record 文件、文檔 for this concept. The Mainland standard is among them - the difference is which form each side makes the default.
文件 is L3 vocabulary on the TOCFL 华语八千词 list.
Pair source: the OpenCC cross-strait conversion table, which maps each Mainland term to the form used in Taiwan.
