Software UI, API references, developer documentation, and technical knowledge bases translated between Chinese and English by IT-specialist translators.
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.
Translators with computer science, software engineering, or developer documentation backgrounds rather than generalists.
GitHub, Lokalise, Phrase, and Crowdin TMS integration for continuous Chinese software localization in agile development cycles.
Separate specialist teams for mainland China (Simplified) and Hong Kong/Taiwan (Traditional) software markets.
Established Chinese conventions for common UI terms (Save, Cancel, Settings) used consistently rather than re-translated each project.
“Reliable, trustworthy and customer-centric This is the summation of Michael, Suzy and their team of translators. I have worked with them for over a year, and they have been my translation service for advertising in many European languages - from Swedish to German to Russian, and not always from English! Consider them a rare find.”

“We contacted Betranslated services in July 2024. My daughter had time sensitive documents that required certified translation from Spanish to English. The company accommodated her request and promptly, accurately translated all of her documents ahead of time. The documents showed clearly which part had been translated to make it easy to identify. They were friendly & professional, and we would recommend their services to anyone.”

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.
