English to Chinese Translation
English and Chinese are the two most widely spoken languages, yet both are entirely different, which makes Chinese translation difficult. Firstly, English is written in the Latin alphabet, whereas Chinese uses over 50,000 unique characters! Even well-educated native Chinese speakers only know around 8,000. These differences pose evident difficulties for Chinese to English translators.
On top of all of this comes the multiple Chinese dialects. There are seven primary dialects but many more local forms of the language. Therefore, knowing your audience and accounting for these regional differences is vital when you translate Chinese. For this reason, trusting a professional translation agency such as Renaissance Translations is a must for your Chinese translation.

Technical Chinese Translation
Chinese translation services in the field of science and technology are known as technical translations. These fields include aerospace, automobile, energy, healthcare, medicine, software, and information technology. Technical translations are thus cru for the engineers and manufacturers looking to take their business to China.
Each Chinese translator has their own area of specialisation, dealing only with work within their field. This ensures accurate and reliable Chinese translation, even for complex topics. We also utilise innovative translation memory tools when translating Chinese to English. This helps us recall previously translated text to improve consistency while keeping costs down
Chinese Desktop Publishing
Desktop publishing (DTP) is crucial when translating Chinese to English, as both languages have distinct writing systems. Chinese text is typically shorter than English, leading to excess space on the page. Character spacing is also altered, and fonts used for the Latin alphabet are unlikely to support Chinese characters. This can lead to an unprofessional and illegible Chinese translation.
At Renaissance Translation, our Chinese translation agency has its own in-house DTP studio. Our Chinese to English translators offer DTP and typesetting localisation both for Traditional and Simplified Chinese text. Moreover, your Chinese translator can work across various print-based materials, including books, magazines, posters, brochures, and product packaging.

Chinese Translation Tips & Insights
Chinese translation services are what Chinese translation services are what we do best! Therefore, we want to share some insights from our Chinese to English translators. Use these tips when translating Chinese to English to help guarantee a high-quality translation every time.
Know Your Audience
There are multiple forms of the Chinese language, and the one you need depends on which geographical location you’re targeting. Therefore, you need to know whom your audience is before starting to translate Chinese.Simplified Chinese is used for most text when communicating with mainland China or Singapore. However, the translation of spoken material and audio requires the use of Mandarin. On the other hand, companies targeting people in Hong Kong need to use Traditional Chinese for written Chinese translation, yet Cantonese for all spoken words.
Consider Character Spacing
Have you ever noticed text takes up less space when you translate Chinese? The characters used in Chinese writing represent entire symbols or words rather than singular letters in an alphabet. Therefore, written text takes up around 30% less space than languages using the Latin alphabet.This might not seem like an important consideration for your Chinese translation. However, in the world of advertising and marketing, it can make the content look strange and unprofessional. Therefore, your Chinese translator can offer desktop publishing to account for these changes. This ensures that the content looks professional and is easily read by your new audience.
