Chinese Translation

Chinese is one of the most important languages for choosing a professional Chinese translator to localize your communications. It is estimated that having your website available in English, Chinese and Spanish gives you access to nearly half of the world’s online users.

CHINESE Facts
樹
Traditional Chinese:"tree"
  • Localizing your website for a Chinese audience allows you to reach over 700 million people.
  • There are two primary written dialects for Chinese translation: Simplified and Traditional. Simplified and Traditional are the written forms of the language and are the focal points of Chinese translation services centered on text-based content.
  • In the 1950’s the Chinese government started to simplify written Chinese characters that were deemed overly complicated. They believed this would increase literacy rates which would in turn improve socioeconomic conditions.
  • While China has adopted Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese is more commonly used in Taiwan and Hong Kong. Since most of the people of Hong Kong and Taiwan are taught the traditional characters, many can’t fully understand printed materials and websites written in the Simplified Chinese of China.
  • Mandarin and Cantonese are both spoken dialects. Mandarin is more prevalent in China.
