Chinese translation services
How to expand successfully into China with Chinese translation services
The good news for your business is that China continues to be an international powerhouse, offering exciting growth opportunities for companies looking to grow globally. China now has the world’s second-largest economy, while boasting the number 1 world ranking in purchasing power ($23 billion). The possibilities for your company within the Chinese market are amazing to say the least.
The bad news for your business is that China offers one of—if not the—most difficult language to translate, presenting significant challenges to communicate to your Chinese customers in their native language. This is why it is so imperative to work with an expert in Chinese markets–who employs in-country linguists.
Chinese translation complexities
Chinese has between seven and 14 linguistic subgroups (depending on the classification system used). It also has two written forms: Traditional Chinese and Simplified Chinese. Knowing the difference between the two is crucial for creating accurately targeted Chinese translations. (Hint: Simplified Chinese is obviously “simplified”–utilizing fewer strokes and characters than Traditional Chinese–but professional translation requires years of expertise. Otherwise, your business will look unprofessional and inexperienced. Not good.
It is imperative for your company to expand into China with high quality translations. As the saying goes, you never get a second chance to make a first impression.

Software & app localization
China is booming. It offers great opportunities for growing businesses but also requires trepidation to navigate such a fast-developing market.
Guidance from a proven translation partner with a custom team that can lead you is imperative to navigate the Chinese landscape, especially when launching software and applications.
Culturally appropriate translations will help you connect with your market and seamlessly update your software and apps when launching new versions. These software and app updates are often timely executions that require a translation partner who can help you with professionalism, efficiency, and expediency. Acclaro has the right tools and the right team to help you succeed.
Website translation
A website is often the first contact point between your company and its potential customers. Selling products and services in China with accurate, culturally relevant Chinese translations is vitally important to your success.
These potential customers are not only located in China, either. There are many native Chinese living right here in the United States. They search for products and solutions on the web in Chinese, and they read manuals, training materials, and other documents in their native language.
Our Chinese translations can help you connect with native Chinese, so the first impression your Chinese audience has of your company—your website—is a great one.
Document translation
Your company deserves the best chance for success in China, and Acclaro has worked with many companies, including global Fortune 500 brands, to translate their documents for the Chinese market. Our translations work because we understand the cultural context and have decades of experience.
English to Traditional Chinese, for example, is not a word-for-word translation. Traditional Chinese has no letter case, tense, or plural forms. High-quality Chinese translations require a professional well-versed in both Traditional and Simplified Chinese. You simply can’t afford to leave your technical manuals, contracts, or onboarding documents in the hands of an inexperienced translation service.
Multimedia translation
Video and elearning translation are often a forgotten requirement until it’s time to go to market. However, your company has invested thousands of dollars (possibly hundreds of thousands) into these assets and they require the same amount of attention to detail as your other communications.
With the right multimedia translation team, your assets can continue to tell powerful stories, even to a brand-new audience across the globe. Acclaro offers skilled linguists, graphics and audio experts, voice talent, and e-learning professionals who are well-versed in the Chinese linguistic subgroups, as well as both written Chinese options.
