Chinese Translation Service

Chinese translation services continue to be in demand although China has reduced their growth target for 2015. At 7%, the world’s second-largest economy is still expected to expand faster than any other country, maintaining the demand for English to Chinese translation services.

Chinese translation service providers have presented new exclusive, diverse brands and quality and value for money luxury products into China for which the Chinese has an acquired passion. That is why foreign exporters are still engaging Chinese translation service providers to market or introduce their luxury products in China.

There a few points to take note in the translated Chinese version which has undergone Chinese translation service. A marketing material needs to undergo proper English to Chinese translation services would take into account existing cultural nuances in China; and to avoid cultural taboos in the translations. For that matter, an established translation company which is an English to Chinese translation service provider is able to translate the original document into appealing Chinese marketing content for new exporters into the Chinese market.

It is also worthwhile to engage a competent Chinese translation services provider who would be able to advise you on any inappropriate literal translations and propose an alternative phrase for the targeted Chinese readers. For example, a competent Chinese translation services provider would advise the client that a scene with a newly wed couple carrying an umbrella between them is inappropriate in China as the word umbrella (傘, sǎn) sounds similar to 散 (sàn) which means to break up.

Another point to take note is that it is alright to let the experienced English to Chinese translation service provider use proverbs and idioms to make impressionable statements in order to better connect to the Chinese target audiences. Proverbs such as “不入虎穴，焉得虎子” (Bù rù hǔ xué，yān dé hǔ zǐ) is sometimes used during Chinese translation service to evoke some response among the audience. It literally says “You can’t get the lion’s cub if you don’t venture into the lion’s cave”. However it simply means “Nothing ventured, Nothing ventured”.

Chinese translation services into English are regularly sought after by Fortune 500 Chinese companies that have branches in non Chinese speaking countries. Exporting Chinese companies engage Chinese translation services providers to assist in the translation of company registration forms, immigration papers, marketing materials, company policies, material safety data sheets and research materials. These translations that are done by Chinese translation services providers have greatly helped the Chinese exporters to sell their products in the global market.

It is not uncommon to engage Chinese translation services providers for translations into non English languages, such as, Indonesian, Vietnamese, Japanese, Korean, Bahasa Malaysia, French, German and vice versa. These Chinese translation services can easily be offered by an established translation company that is based in a country which has Mandarin and English as its official language in schools. Singapore is a hotbed for Chinese translation services as the education system and environment supports the learning of languages such as most Asian languages as well as European languages.

As China plays a significant role in the world economy, it is my hope that this article will encourage more readers to engage with the Chinese in trade or simply understand their culture through translated documentaries by Chinese translation services providers.
