A Good Chinese Translator Must Be:

Merely speaking both English and Chinese is not enough to be a professional translator. Talent and training in linguistics plus professional expertise in a given field are indispensable. The team members in our translation agency are selected according to the following criteria:

1. Native Chinese Speakers

When translating into Chinese, the translator must necessarily be a native speaker highly educated in the written language. The Chinese written language employs Chinese characters, which are not just pictographs (pictures of their meanings), but are highly stylized and carry much abstract meaning. In addition, there are a variety of dialects that must be mastered in addition of having the capacity of assimilating the meaning of the English text and reformulate the words into the Chinese equivalent.

2. Knowledgeable Writers in Different Dialects

There are currently two standards for Chinese characters. One is the traditional system still used in Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Macau. The other is the simplified system first introduced by the government of the People’s Republic of China in the 1950s and finalized in 1986. This is called Standard Mandarin and is the official language of the People’s Republic of China, the Republic of China on Taiwan, and one of the official languages of Singapore. Not only must your Chinese translator be highly versed in Standard Mandarin, he or she must also know when it would be appropriate to use the traditional system.

3. Precision

It takes many years of education and experience to develop as a good Chinese translator. They must have a ready grasp of how to transpose typically English concepts into their Chinese equivalents in tone and feeling as well as the basic idea. Consistent style and terminology must be used throughout the project, and regionalisms—characters that are specific to a particular dialect or region of the country—must be used with expertise.

4. Experience in Different Fields

Professional Chinese translators for the legal, medical, or engineering fields must have excellent educational and professional backgrounds to ensure that they can understand the source material and render high-quality work that meets the project's requirements. We require that our team members have at least three years of full-time professional experience in their fields.
