Professional Chinese Translation Services

Thinking about translating your website into Chinese? Need a Chinese interpreter for a meeting? Having trouble communicating with your Chinese market? Syntacta can help with all this and more.

Many global companies trust Syntacta to get their Chinese translations right. This is because we work with a network of dependable Chinese translators who are qualified and highly experienced and share our passion for quality and customer service. They also translate only into their mother tongue.

The Chinese language is distinguished by a high level of internal diversity and is therefore best examined by separating into some of the most common forms.

The Chinese written language can be separated into Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese. Simplified Chinese is identified by a lesser number of strokes making up each character - a move which was made in the mid-20^th century in order to promote wider literacy within Mainland China.

Traditional Chinese uses non-simplified, traditional characters and is generally used outside of Mainland China, in Hong Kong, Taiwan and by other Chinese communities overseas. These two variations of the Chinese language aren’t interchangeable, despite the grammar and structure being standard.

In its spoken form, the Chinese language contains a variety of dialects, the most common being Mandarin and Cantonese, which are also not interchangeable.

In the People’s Republic of China and Taiwan, the official spoken language is Mandarin. In Hong Kong and other overseas Chinese communities the official spoken language is Cantonese.

Taking all of this into consideration, it is important to identify a specific target audience when translating or interpreting in Chinese. For written Chinese translations we need to know whether the variant should be Simplified or Traditional Chinese and for Chinese spoken interpreting assignments, we need to establish whether Mandarin or Cantonese is the appropriate language of use.

This is where our experience is invaluable. We’ll select the right translator or interpreter to tailor your communication to your target audience and ensure that your message is understood.

Reliable Translation from English into Simplified or Traditional Chinese

Whether you need your website translated into Simplified or Traditional Chinese or a technical manual for your product, we can find the best qualified and experienced Chinese translator to meet your needs. There are a few things you might want to consider before we begin the translation process, such as:

• How long is the text? We charge by the number of words in a document, so the length will determine the final cost. Knowing the number of words will also help us to determine how long the translation will take.
• What is the subject of the document? Our translators specialise in a wide range of industries, so we’ll select the most suitable Chinese translator for you.
• Do you have a preferred style you would like the translator to use, or do you have Chinese terminology glossaries or translation memories that you would like us to use?
• Do you have a delivery date in mind?
• What is the intended purpose of the Chinese translation? Is it a website, a publication for the web or for print, a document for internal use? Any additional information you can provide is always useful.
• If it is a technical or specialised document, do you have any reference material which could be of benefit to the translator?
• Do you know what your target market is? Make sure you tell us if you need your translation to be in Simplified Chinese or Traditional Chinese.
