Chinese IT Translation

Chinese IT Translation Services

We translate software UI, API references, developer documentation, and technical knowledge bases between Chinese and English. IT-specialist translators handle every project.

Overview

Chinese IT Translation at BeTranslated

China is the world's largest IT and software market by user base and a major source of technical documentation. Our Chinese IT translators combine native fluency with software development backgrounds, delivering UI strings, API references, and developer documentation that reads naturally to Chinese-speaking engineers and developers.

Spoken support for developer workshops and project reviews is covered too, with interpreting services working between Chinese and English. Company registrations and software license agreements filed with a US federal contractor or a European public authority may need official certified translations, and the receiving office, not the translator, decides on acceptance.

What Sets Our Chinese IT Translation Apart

Software and Developer Background

Translators with computer science, software engineering, or developer documentation backgrounds rather than generalists.

Simplified and Traditional Chinese

Separate specialist teams for mainland China (Simplified) and Hong Kong/Taiwan (Traditional) software markets.

Common-Sense Term Conventions

Established Chinese conventions for common UI terms (Save, Cancel, Settings) used consistently rather than retranslated each project.

Common Questions

Chinese IT Translation: Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. We integrate with Lokalise, Phrase, Crowdin, and similar TMS platforms for continuous localization workflows including agile release cadences.

Yes. We cover Apple App Store China and the major Android distribution channels in mainland China including Tencent MyApp, Huawei AppGallery, and Xiaomi Mi Store.

XLIFF, JSON, ARB (Flutter), gettext (.po/.pot), Apple .strings, Android XML, YAML, CSV, and most resource file formats used in modern software development.

Simplified and Traditional Chinese differ not only in character form but in established UI conventions: terms like Settings, Cancel, and Confirm have distinct conventional renderings on Mainland vs. Taiwan vs. Hong Kong platforms. We apply platform-appropriate term conventions for each market from the outset, with a locked glossary before the production run. For products shipping to all three markets we produce three distinct locales (zh-CN, zh-TW, zh-HK) rather than attempting to cover all three with a single variant.

Yes. For projects involving any user-facing privacy notices, consent flows, data processing terms, or app store privacy metadata destined for Mainland China, we apply PIPL-aware language conventions: correct terminology for data processors (shuju chuli zhe) and data controllers (shuju kongzhi zhe), required consent language, and the mandatory data subject rights disclosures. We flag any English source wording that would require adaptation to comply with PIPL's specific disclosure requirements.
