When the videos have 2 Chinese subtitles, one is Traditional Chinese, one is Simplified Chinese, how to choose the correct one? Here is the partial mediainfo of my video:

MPV player with --slang always choose the Simplified Chinese one, the --sid of each video is not the same, is there way to identify the Title?

Depends on what you mean by "correct." Ideally you use --slang=zho to pick the Traditional Chinese track, but it appears it's not tagged as such.
