"Traditional characters" and "Simplified characters" are writing systems, not languages. You can write many variants of Chinese with either system. Traditional characters are still used in Taiwan and Hong Kong, while simplified characters are standard on the mainland and in Singapore. However, traditional characters are still used in some niche cases on the mainland (such as decorations, names of shops and restaurants). Whether a translation to "Traditional characters" should default to Taiwanese-flavored Mandarin is an open question.
