The Conversion-zh template can be used as an alternative to the regular traditional/simplified conversion functionality (<code><nowiki>-{zh:; zh-hans:; zh-hant:; zh-cn:; ...}-</nowiki></code>) when it doesn't work, such as for <!-- converting images (it is recommended to use {{tl|Image}}) or --> converting prompt texts. However, the Conversion-zh template operates based on the interface language rather than language variants, so it cannot be changed using the typography tags at the top of the page. In other words, when it is possible to use <code><nowiki>-{}-</nowiki></code> for conversion, please avoid using the Conversion-zh template.

The implementation mechanism of the Conversion-zh template is completely different from <code><nowiki>-{}-</nowiki></code>. The Conversion-zh template automatically switches content between zh, zh-hans, zh-hant, zh-cn, zh-tw, zh-hk, and zh-sg by retrieving the value from [[MediaWiki:Lang]]. Therefore, the Conversion-zh template supports code conversion, which is not available in <code><nowiki>-{}-</nowiki></code>.
