Key Market Fact
Simplified and Traditional Chinese Are Different Systems
Chinese Translation for the World's Largest Market
Chinese is the most spoken language in the world by native speakers, with over 1.3 billion people. It splits into two major written systems: Simplified Chinese, used in Mainland China and Singapore, and Traditional Chinese, used in Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macau. Using the wrong script for the wrong market is an immediate signal that content was not written for that audience. This is a critical distinction for brands entering Chinese-speaking markets.
BeTranslated provides both Simplified and Traditional Chinese translation with native linguists from each market. We cover business documents, legal and compliance content, marketing and e-commerce localization, technical manuals, software UI, website translation, and audiovisual content. Chinese translation requires particular attention to character-based layout since Chinese text is more compact than Latin-script equivalents, which affects UI design, packaging, and print materials. Interpretation services are available in Shanghai, Beijing, Hong Kong, Taipei, and Singapore.

Common Questions
Chinese Translation: Frequently Asked Questions
Simplified Chinese uses a reduced-stroke script introduced in Mainland China in the 1950s and is also used in Singapore. Traditional Chinese retains the full classical character forms and is used in Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macau. The scripts are largely mutually readable by educated speakers, but vocabulary and phrasing conventions differ. For any professional publication, the correct script for the target market must be used.
