Translations from and into Chinese: subtleties, challenges and modern solutions

Post cover: Translations from and into Chinese: subtleties, challenges and modern solutions
This content has been automatically translated from Ukrainian.
Chinese – is one of the oldest, most common and at the same time the most complex languages in the world. It brings together more than a billion media, impresses with its logic, richness of symbols and shades of meanings. But it is this uniqueness that makes translation from the Chinese language such a complex and delicate process, where accuracy plays a key role. Therefore, if you are looking for reliable specialists in this field, it is worth paying attention to the experience and quality of services provided by KLS Agency.

The current reality of business, education and culture requires not only the translation of words, but also the adaptation of content, taking into account cultural codes and communicative contexts. This is what distinguishes professional translation from Chinese from automated or superficial. And especially when it comes to language constructions in which one character can have several meanings depending on intonation or context.

Why is Chinese translation – more than just «language exchange»?

Unlike many European languages, Chinese does not have an alphabet in the usual sense. Instead, a system with thousands of hieroglyphs is used. In addition, there are simplified and traditional versions of the script used in different regions (for example, China vs. Taiwan or Hong Kong). And we should not forget about the tonal nature of language, where the same «phonetic» phrase can have a diametrically opposite meaning, depending on the tone.

Because of these features, incorrect translation can not only distort the essence, but also lead to communicative errors, especially in the areas of business, technical documentation or legal texts. That is why more and more companies turn to specialists who not only speak the language, but also understand it «underwater currents».
In what cases is translation from Chinese critical?
  • international trade: contracts, technical descriptions, logistics documents
  • education: academic certificates, diplomas, enrollment letters
  • jurisprudence: court documents, legalization, notarized translations
  • medicine: instructions for drugs, clinical studies
  • cultural exchange: subtitling, localization of videos or texts for social networks.
In all these cases, it is worth trusting not machine translation, but the living experience of a translator who is able to capture all the nuances.

How to ensure high-quality Chinese translation?

  • engage a professional translator with experience in your field
  • specify the region (Mandarin, Cantonese, Taiwanese version of the language)
  • check localization and style matching
  • use editing and proofreading by a native speaker when it comes to publication
KLS Agency employs not only experienced translators, but also editors who have Chinese language practice in the business field, jurisprudence or technical translation. This approach significantly reduces the risks of errors and increases the trust of partners in business communication.
