East Asian markets are increasingly becoming the targets of global enterprises. This is either because they have a high per capita purchasing power, as is the case in Japan, or because they have an enormous population avid for Western products, as in China. As such, the business possibilities are countless.

Chinese Translations - Who Will Be Reading Mine (what part of the world)?

Chinese translations are not as simple as they may seem. The people of China use two forms of lettering systems, Simplified and Traditional. Using the correct one is vital to the success of your translation.

•   If your document is intended to be read in mainland China, Simplified Chinese translations should be used.
•   If your document will be read outside the Chinese mainland, Traditional Chinese translations should be used.
   

However, if the chinese translations need to be colloquial - for instance, translating a training handbook for salesmen - the process becomes more complex, because the language habits of different regions must be taken into consideration.

When considering English to Chinese translations, the form of Chinese selected depends on your desired target market. The three most commonly used types of Chinese are the following:

•   Mandarin with short-form (simplified) characters, used in Mainland China and Singapore.
•   Mandarin with long-form (traditional) characters, used in Taiwan.
•   Cantonese with long-form (traditional) characters, used in Hong Kong and international Chinese.

Chinese Translations - How Much Will It Cost?

•   When you request English to Chinese translations, pricing is based upon the total number of source (English) words.
•   When you request Chinese to English translations, pricing is based upon the total number of target (English) words.
•   Your completed Chinese to English translations will normally reflect a decrease of 40% - 50% in the count from Chinese characters to English words.
   
•   Your urge to reduce costs by producing one set of Chinese materials to cover all of Greater China may create problems due to age-old conflicts among ethnic Chinese groups.
  
•   Instead, you may benefit from producing separate communications for each of the three major markets in Greater China: Mainland China, Taiwan and Hong Kong. Failing to recognize the cultural distinctions may produce resentment, shows a lack of sensitivity and indicates to natives an insincere commitment to the region.
