We have translated vital contracts, business agreements, PR, news, and legal documents into all eight of the official languages used in China, although mostly into Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese.

Traditional Chinese is a conventional writing system that has been used by the people in China for thousands of years, but it is less likely to be used for formal documents as it does not contain any of the standardised Chinese characters introduced by the government in the ’40s.

Traditional characters are far more complicated with more strokes, whereas Simplified Chinese, with its more modern Chinese characters, as the name suggests, has been simplified to have fewer strokes.

What can make Chinese translations particularly difficult to get right is the unusual way written Chinese has developed, as Chinese writing doesn’t use an alphabet like most other languages and has numerous different writing systems.

In Chinese writing, there are thousands of characters and Chinese translators have to memorize around 4,000 different characters to be able to provide accurate translations.

It takes very skilled translators to accurately translate documents in written Chinese, as well as spoken Chinese, for the most professional Chinese translations we always recommend using professional language services provided by native translators.

Admittedly it is possible to use Google to translate a document from Simplified Chinese into Traditional Chinese and vice-versa. However, for the best document translation, you need an expert linguist who has extensive experience in both systems to carefully work through each character to ensure accurate translation.

While it might be tempting to use a machine translator like Google Translate to translate between the two Chinese writing systems we would strongly recommend against doing this because there is no direct one-to-one equivalent of a simplified character to a traditional character. It may only take one Simplified character to convey what is being said in five Traditional characters.

A human being will always be superior to a machine in this regard, and not only that but when working with one of our skilled translators you can be confident that your documents will say exactly what you want them to say.

The translation process can be difficult as you cannot always take the literal meaning of a word and directly translate that into another language, this is why often using free services, such as Google Translate, in a professional setting can cause issues.

A literal document translation might read as incorrect to a human, while a computer program might see nothing wrong with the translation. A native speaker of the language with experience in multiple other languages is the best way to produce professional documents in other languages.

While other translation services often rely on machine translations, we only work with native professional translators with a minimum of five years of experience in their field. when you combine that with our exhaustive contact list of industry experts your rest easy knowing all of your needs are covered.

If you need Chinese translation services that offer notarized or certified translations, you’ve come to the right place.

When a translation is referred to as being certified, this means that the translator has given a signed statement stating that the translation is a true representation of the original document. Certified translations are normally needed when you are submitting legal papers, such as marriage certificates, supporting documents for immigration, or business contracts that are not written in the official language of the country where the translated files are being submitted.

It is important to note that there is a between a certified translator and a translation that has been certified, when a professional translator has passed an exam (which exam varies from country to country) it means that they are certified. This does not need to be done by a certified translator. Instead, it is a translation that the translator certifies to be an exact translation of the original or source document.

A notarized translation means that the translated document fulfills the formal requirements of a certain institution and has been given an official seal of approval. In this case, a professional translator gives the documents to a notary public, who then has the translator swear an oath proving the accuracy of the translation. The translator also has to sign an affidavit that contains all official details like the signature and seal of the notary.
