Chinese Technical Translation at BeTranslated
China is the world's largest manufacturing economy and a major producer and consumer of technical documentation.
More about Chinese Technical Translation
Our Chinese technical translators combine native Simplified or Traditional Chinese fluency with engineering, IT, or science qualifications, and use CAT tools to deliver consistent, precise translations for both Chinese companies exporting globally and multinationals entering China.
Spoken support for supplier visits and safety briefings is covered too, with professional interpretation services working between Chinese and English. Equipment certificates and compliance statements bound for a US customs broker or a European standards body are a separate case, and professional certified translations can be ordered with the rest of the project. The recipient sets the requirements, so share them early.

Chinese Technical Translation: Frequently Asked Questions
Do you cover Simplified Chinese for China and Traditional Chinese for Taiwan and Hong Kong?
Yes. We have separate specialist teams for both scripts and their respective technical terminology conventions.
Can you localize software for the Chinese market?
Yes. We handle UI string localization, help documentation, and marketing copy for software products entering China, Taiwan, and Hong Kong.
How do you handle Chinese technical terms that have no direct English equivalent?
We use established industry translation conventions and, where needed, add explanatory notes or maintain the original Chinese term with an English explanation.
Do you handle the terminology differences between Mainland China GB standards and Taiwan CNS standards?
Yes. Mainland China uses GB (Guojia Biaozhun) national standards with Simplified Chinese terminology; Taiwan uses CNS (Chinese National Standard) conventions with Traditional Chinese.
A safety data sheet compliant for Chinese GB GHS requirements will differ from one formatted for Taiwan CNS labeling. We confirm the target market at project start and apply the correct standards vocabulary and regulatory reference framework throughout.
Which CAT tools and source file formats do you support for Chinese technical projects?
We work in Trados Studio, memoQ, Phrase, and Smartcat as standard. Source formats handled directly include .docx, .indd/.idml, .xml, .xliff, .json, .resx, .po, and DITA or S1000D-tagged content.
For Chinese software clients using Unicode CJK character sets, we confirm encoding settings before starting to prevent character corruption in output files. Existing TMX and TBX glossary assets are integrated to reduce cost.
