Localisation is the process of adapting a translated text so that it is linguistically and culturally appropriate for a specific country or region. It includes translation, but it also includes linguistic factors such as culture and customs and non-linguistic factors such as units and date formats.

One of the questions we often get asked by clients is whether they should translate their documents into Mandarin or Cantonese. This question is technically incorrect as Mandarin and Cantonese are spoken languages. The written forms of Chinese are Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese.
For an audience based in Hong Kong, Taiwan, or Macau, your documents should be translated into Traditional Chinese. On the other hand, if your audience is based in Mainland China, Malaysia or Singapore, your documents will need to be translated into Simplified Chinese.
If you are unsure which version of Chinese you should choose, please feel free to get in touch. Our friendly team is always happy to help.
CTS offers translation and interpreting services in over 120 languages. Contact us directly for any language or dialect that you do not see listed below.
English to Chinese translation involves converting written content from English to Chinese. This service caters to various documents, including marketing materials, technical manuals, and legal contracts. The aim is to ensure the translated content is accurate, culturally appropriate, and retains the original meaning and intent for a Chinese audience.
The pricing for translation services is generally based on several factors, including the word count, complexity of the text, language pair, and required turnaround time. Specialised content such as legal, medical, or technical documents may incur higher costs due to the expertise needed. We offer discounts for large projects and repeat customers. If your project exceeds a certain word count, or if you have ongoing translation needs, we can discuss a tailored pricing plan that offers better rates.
The duration of the translation process depends on the length and complexity of the document. Typically, shorter documents can be translated within a few days, while larger projects may take a week or more. Upon receiving your translation request, we will provide an estimated turnaround time for your specific project.
Absolutely. Our team includes professional translators and proofreaders who are proficient in both Simplified Chinese, commonly used in Mainland China, and Traditional Chinese, used in regions such as Taiwan and Hong Kong. Our head office in Shanghai handles translations relating to Simplified Chinese, while our Hong Kong office has the expertise for translations in Traditional Chinese.
