CTS follows the Mother Tongue Principle, also known as the Native Speaker Principle, which states that a translator should only translate into their primary language. For example, a native speaker of English should only translate from Chinese to English, and a native speaker of Chinese should only translate from English to Chinese.
This is because native speakers know how to write in their language better than non-natives. They possess a more extensive vocabulary and instinctively know all the rules of grammar, which allows them to produce translations that are both accurate and a pleasure to read.
While your bilingual employees can help save money by translating documents in the office, they may not have the skills or expertise to produce a professional translation. Translation is a career, and like any other career, it requires practice, training, and experience. It is simply not true that every bilingual person is a good translator.
Furthermore, a translation company will have subject matter experts who work in specialised fields such as medicine, law, finance, or technology. They will also have proofreaders, editors, and the latest translation software to help eliminate errors and improve the overall translation quality.
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.
We specialise in translating a wide range of documents, including but not limited to legal contracts, financial reports, marketing materials, technical manuals, academic papers, medical records, and personal documents such as birth certificates and marriage certificates etc.

You can request a free quote through our website to get an estimate tailored to your specific needs.
The turnaround time varies depending on the length, complexity, and subject matter of the document. Typically, we aim to complete translation projects within 1-3 working days. However, for longer and more complex documents, we provide a customised timeline. Urgent requests can be accommodated through our expedited service, which incurs additional fees.
