Traditional (Cantonese) and Simplified (Mandarin) Chinese
Both Mandarin and Cantonese refer to spoken languages whereas Traditional and Simplified donates the writing systems. Mandarin is the official language in mainland China and Cantonese is used in Hong Kong, Macau and the province Guangdong.
Mandarin text contracts around 15% less than the English source so when typesetting Mandarin it could cause problems if this has not been taken into account in the original design.
