    i don't think you derailed anything! printed chinese is kind of universal.
    traditional chinese characters are used in honk kong, japan and taiwan (japan have 2 more alphabets). simplified chinese is used for the rest of china and where the chinese have spread through asia. Irrelevant of dialect or language the characters are the same. There are thousands of spoken dialects but few are written. When written they often use characters that have the same sound but different meaning. this is now common in modern slang, which means you can't translate chinese twitter unless you're fluent.spoken not written!
