The conversion from Simplified Chinese to Traditional Chinese has a fairly high failure rate. The algorithm scans the sentence from beginning to end looking for the largest string in its conversion dictionary. Proofreading the conversion results of Simplified Chinese to Traditional Chinese is mandatory.

For example:

The isolated word 发现 converts to 發現 correctly.

But a sentence containing a fragment 工头发现 will get converted to 工頭髮現 because the word 头发 is seen first and is converted into 頭髮 before the word 发现.

Were there any characters immediately before or after 发现 in your test case?

Ultimately, it may be better to use a different tool for Simplified Chinese to Traditional Chinese conversions. Conversion from Traditional Chinese to Simplified Chinese has a much much lower error rate.
