Simplified & Traditional Chinese Translation

Simplified Chinese is primarily used in Mainland China, Singapore, and Malaysia, while Traditional Chinese is the standard in Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macau. Our native-speaking linguists possess deep cultural and linguistic understanding of these regions, ensuring your message is accurately conveyed and resonates with local readers. Whether for business documents, legal contracts, or marketing materials, we deliver authentic translations that maintain your original intent while adapting to local nuances.
Chinese Dialects Localization
Beyond standard Mandarin, we offer comprehensive translation and localization services for various Chinese dialects including Cantonese (Yue), Hokkien (Min Nan), Hakka, and other regional variants. These dialects carry rich cultural heritage and are essential for truly connecting with local audiences. Our dialect specialists are not only fluent in these languages but also deeply understand local customs and cultural contexts. We provide authentic dialect solutions for film and media dubbing, advertising campaigns, customer service materials, and other content that requires genuine local flavor to establish deeper emotional connections with target consumers.
