AAs with all other language translations, attention must be paid in Chinese to localisation, transcreation and the cultural subtleties of the language.

When translating Chinese texts, the content must not only be transferred into another language, but also adapted to the linguistic, cultural and sometimes legal conventions of the target country (so-called localisation). Even native speakers sometimes do not have the necessary linguistic competence for these specialised translations. That is why it is particularly important to hire a native-speaker Chinese translator with reliable expertise. This way you can be sure that your translation is technically and linguistically perfect.

Depending on the needs, a transcreation can also be the right solution. With this form of contextual translation, the translator is given more creative freedom. This can be particularly useful when translating emotional and entertaining advertising and marketing texts.

Whether school certificate, degree certificate, police clearance certificate, employer reference, internship certificate or licence to practise medicine - depending on the employer or authority, competent translations are needed abroad, usually in the number one business language: English. In some cases, these must be certified by a sworn translator in order to be legally valid.

Certified translations cannot be done by yourself, as they require a certification stamp. Only state certified translators have this after they have applied for it at the regional court. Self-made translations are not recognised as official documents.

The certified translation of certificates is particularly important when families with children emigrate and the educational level of the pupils needs to be determined for integration into the foreign school system.

Both private individuals and companies have a need for translations into Chinese. The most common documents that need to be translated into Chinese include:

Chinese birth certificates Chinese marriage certificates Chinese certificates Chinese driving licences Chinese death certificates Chinese personal IDs and passports

For these Chinese translations, the authorities often require an additional certification of the translation. Therefore, find out in good time which form of translation into Chinese you need.

If you want to win over your Chinese customers or gain an initial foothold in the business world there, professional translations are essential. Experts translate both into Chinese and from Chinese into various languages. For example, have your operating instructions or product descriptions translated. Also popular are website translations into Chinese, but also technical documents or business correspondence.

When choosing a Chinese translator, it is important to pay attention to the translator's area of expertise, for both private and business purposes. Are you specifically looking for marketing translations, technical translations or maybe translations of medical texts? Make your choice so that the finished translations are not only linguistically but also technically of a very high standard.

The same applies to e-commerce translations, social media translations or the translations of legal texts: For business translations in particular you should place great value on the quality of the translation. With a professional Chinese translator, you ensure that you receive a flawless translation into Chinese.

Depending on the requirements, the different tools, providers and services each have their advantages. However, for professional communication with clients and stakeholders, we recommend not using DeepL exclusively for translation without subsequent proofreading by a native speaker. Although you save considerable costs on the translation, this service does not achieve the translation quality of professional specialist translators. Especially with "unusual" languages - such as Chinese - translation tools are still immature, which leads to many unattractive errors.

As a result, the web-based translation app from lingoking is currently probably the best solution for small to large translation jobs in terms of usability, speed and quality. In particular for assignments that do not have specific requirements in terms of niche or brand-specific terminology or technical terms. Personal exchange (offer, feedback, etc.) is not required and only takes place at the request of the customer.

The classic lingoking translation service is recommended if time is not the decisive criterion or if you require an offer for larger order volumes. Individual onboarding through our project management, interface optimisation, service and sustainable good cooperation are our focus here. Complemented by the web app for urgent translation – for one or more people in your department or company, this model is probably the best overall package we can currently offer you.
