We provide Chinese to English and English to Chinese translation services. Our professional Chinese translators specialize in medical, pharmaceutical, life sciences, legal, business, IT, and finance fields, and hold strong credentials for translation.
Step 1: Decide your target audience for Chinese translation services
Translation refers to the rendition of written documents. Not all written forms of Chinese are the same — the two variants are Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese. When requesting Chinese translation services, you want to first determine who your target audience is, and whether Simplified Chinese or Traditional Chinese is more suitable. For a more detailed comparison of the two, read our blog: Written Forms: Simplified Chinese or Traditional Chinese?
Step 2: Find your Chinese translators: Native speakers of the target language
The next step is to find Chinese translators and proofreaders who are native speakers of the target language (also consider the specific Chinese written form). We recommend that at least one member of the translating/proofreading team should be a native speaker of the target language.
Step 3: Find your Chinese translators: Expertise in the technical domain
If your documents are highly technical, try to find translators who have background knowledge, work experience, or in-depth training in the specific field.
Step 4: Find your Chinese translators: Translation credentials
To achieve premium quality, hire Chinese translators who are certified by the American Translator Association (ATA). The ATA credential exams are very stringent, and the ATA certifications are the best credentials available to attest to translator competency.
For document translation, make sure that you request translators, not interpreters. Compared to interpretation, which is instantaneous and tends to be more forgiving of word choices, translation mandates great attention to detail and requires very different skill sets from that of interpreting.
