Simplified vs. Traditional: Getting the Right Script
Chinese isn't one-size-fits-all. Using the wrong script in a legal contract or product manual can damage credibility. We structure our delivery around your exact target region.
Mainland China & Singapore Focus
Simplified Chinese is the standard for the People's Republic of China (PRC) and Singapore. It is mandatory for all government documents, mass-market products, and legal compliance in these regions.
- Manufacturing: Technical manuals for heavy machinery.
- Government: Regulatory filings for NMPA (Pharma) or CCC (Electronics).
- Digital: App localization for the massive Mainland user base.
Taiwan, Hong Kong & High-Tech Trade
Traditional Chinese is essential for Taiwan and Hong Kong. The tone is often more formal, and the vocabulary for technical and legal concepts differs significantly from the Mainland.
- Electronics: PCB layouts and component specs from Taiwan.
- Finance: IPOs, annual reports, and contracts for Hong Kong.
- Legal: Patent filings and intellectual property protection.
Audio & Video Localization
Written Chinese unifies dialects, but spoken Chinese is distinct. Mandarin is the official standard (Mainland/Taiwan). Cantonese is dominant in Hong Kong and Southern China.
- Subtitling: SRT/VTT files synced to the correct written script.
- Voice Over: Professional native artists for Mandarin or Cantonese.
- Transcription: Accurate text logs for legal or meeting recordings.
Where Indian businesses rely on accurate Chinese translation
The trade relationship between India and Greater China drives massive volumes of technical and legal documentation. Misinterpretation can lead to critical production delays or complex legal disputes.
Manufacturing, Procurement & Engineering
We act as your linguistic risk management partner, ensuring that the documents flowing through your supply chain are clear, accurate, and legally compliant.
Chinese Language Combinations for Corporate India
We go beyond simple English-Chinese translation. Our teams handle complex, multi-language projects connecting India’s manufacturing and tech hubs with the Greater China region.

Technical Accuracy Workflow for Chinese Projects
Engineering accuracy is non-negotiable. Our 5-step process ensures consistent terminology and legal compliance across thousands of pages of documentation.
OCR & Prep
We analyze files. For scanned Chinese manuals, we use advanced OCR to extract editable text and preserve layout.
Glossary Lock
Key technical terms (e.g., "hydraulic valve") are extracted and approved by your engineers before translation starts.
Native Translation
Linguists with specific domain expertise (Engineering/Legal) translate into the approved script (SC or TC).
Review & DTP
A second linguist checks accuracy. Our DTP team adjusts the layout as Chinese text occupies vertical space differently.
Delivery
Final files delivered securely with Translation Memories (TMs) updated for cost savings on future updates.
