How to select a trusted Chinese language translation partner

For a business wanting to grow and thrive in the Chinese economy, owners and workers must possess a working knowledge of the language and an understanding of effective, technical translations. When selecting a Chinese Language translation service, experience with dialects, documents, and details is mandatory when doing business in China.

Translation of documents written in Chinese requires knowledge of local dialects and languages. Chinese to English translation services must be familiar with the more than 40,000 characters in written Chinese. Even though the educated Chinese businessman knows only about 4000 characters, an experienced, professional translation service must be able to address the most distinct dialects. The Chinese language family includes at least seven families of dialects, Mandarin, Gan, Hakka, Min, Wu, Xiang and Cantonese. Working knowledge of many – if not all – of these dialects is a must for a professional Chinese to English or English to Chinese translator.

A business that deals with technical documents requires translation services that are precise. This business requires meticulous translation services because an incorrect translation can invalidate important legal contracts, provide incorrect information for medical instructions, or list inaccurate machinery specifications that could cause accidents and injury. Professional Chinese translation services are necessary for effective business relations. A translation service familiar with the variety of Chinese dialects would benefit any organization.

Chinese dialects

Standard Chinese, commonly referred to as Mandarin, has been the official language of the People’s Republic of China since 1909, but it is not the only spoken language in China. Out of the seven dialect families, Mandarin is a standardization of the Beijing dialect. There are six other dialect families included in the Chinese language. These dialects differ in pronunciation and sometimes grammar and any professional translation services company would be familiar with each one. In these cases, topolect is the applicable term, since it describes language varieties from different regions which have less in common than dialects. Because the spoken language varies so much from region to region, some topolects are entirely unintelligible from one valley to the next. On the opposite end of the spectrum, the three northeastern provinces share similar dialects of Mandarin, which easily translate among the regions.
To this end, any business or individual, who wants to work effectively in China, should invest in a reputable Chinese translation service. Such service will be familiar in the various dialects of the regions. The professionals Chinese translators will work closely with the business or individual and will provide the knowledge and translations needed to effective do business in China.
