The converted content of the two is not the same.

What should have happened instead?:
The converted content of app should be consistent with Web

Software version (skip for WMF-hosted wikis like Wikipedia):

Other information (browser name/version, screenshots, etc.):
Both Android and IOS can be observed, maybe it is a problem with the rest api?

This is the top section from the page wikitext source code, not the description from the Wikidata item.

Thanks.

The issue is the same as this ticket: T351989 and the one I merged: The RESTBase does not handle BCP47 language code correctly.

Now we are waiting for the Content Transformers team to remove the PCS endpoints from RESTBase and hopefully, this will resolve all related Chinese language variants issues in the apps.

Hi @SunAfterRain,

We've released fixes for the Chinese language issues you reported. Please update your Android app to the latest version to see if these changes resolve the problem. The fixes were included in these updates:

https://github.com/wikimedia/apps-android-wikipedia/pull/5217
https://github.com/wikimedia/apps-android-wikipedia/pull/5223

Thanks!

Android's part is done, but I'm not resolving: This is a client side fix so the iOS team also needs to create a patch to fix it.
