Chinese Translation - Mandarin and Cantonese

When considering English to Chinese translation, the form of written and spoken Chinese which should be used in communications depends on the target market. The three most commonly used forms are:

1. Mandarin, written using short-form (simplified) characters - Mainland China and Singapore
2. Mandarin, written using long-form (traditional) characters - Taiwan
3. Cantonese, written using long-form characters - Hong Kong and overseas Chinese

We strongly recommend that clients produce separate communications for each of the three key markets in Greater China - Mainland China, Taiwan and Hong Kong. It is unwise to cut costs by producing one set of Chinese language materials to cover the whole of Greater China, as there are long-standing rivalries between the different ethnic groups in Greater China. Failure to distinguish between these different groups can be insulting, displays a lack of cultural sensitivity and is generally seen as demonstrating inadequate commitment to the region. Fortunately the linguistic similarities between the three are sufficient to enable us to produce targeted communications for each market relatively inexpensively - contact us for more information.
