Our translation and localization process makes sure your target audience feel like they are dealing with “one of their own”.

Facts about Chinese
- There are actually several languages spoken in China. Mandarin is the most spoken, followed by Wu, Cantonese (Yue), and Min. The unifying force that enables Chinese people to communicate is the Chinese characters, but even here the choice needs to be made between Traditional Chinese characters and Simplified Chinese characters depending on your target audience.
- Traditional Chinese: refers to Chinese characters which do not contain newly created characters or character substitutions performed after 1946. Traditional Chinese characters are currently used in Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macau.
- Simplified Chinese : Since its promulgation by the government in 1956, Simplified Chinese characters have become the official standardized written script used to write the Chinese language within mainland China. Simplified Chinese characters are used in mainland China, Singapore and Malaysia in official publications.
- A well-educated Chinese reader today can recognize approx. 5,000–7,000 characters. However, only approx. 3,000 characters are needed to read a Mainland newspaper. A large dictionary, like the Kangxi Dictionary, contains more than 40,000 characters, including obscure, rare, and archaic characters; less than a quarter of these characters are now commonly used.
