Chinese Into English
My translation career actually started with Chinese into English translation when I entered a Master's program in
1979 at Institute of Geochemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences where I translated many abstracts of research
papers and presentations for my advisors and other professors. The abstracts were prepared to be published in
proceedings of international conferences and the presentations, delivered at the conferences. Those early works
proved to be both challenging and rewarding as they provided excellent training for me as a translator.
IT & Technical - Translated a telecommunication standard in Traditional Chinese from Taiwan
Telecommunication Authority for a European company, a networking equipment testing document for 3Com and
several academic journal articles.
Medical & Biomedical - Translated many medical records, several new drug application documents for filing with the
FDA for a pharmaceutical company and several Traditional Chinese Medicine (TMC) documents, including one
research paper of 16,000+ Chinese characters. This particular article is an extensive account of Ginger as a medicinal
plant and its biomedical research results and is full of classical Chinese medical quotes from doctors who lived in eras
from the Tang Dynasty (more than 1,000 years ago) to the Qing Dynasty. Several translators turned down the job due
to the difficulty of the archaic language. One took on the job but only to quit after translating more than 8,000
characters. I accepted and completed the project in time for delivery with high quality. Here is an email from the project
manager: "I thought you would be interested to know that your translation has been through editing and word
processing here and gone to the client. Our staff editor for this job (native English speaker) and proofreader (native
Chinese speaker) both send you their compliments for doing such a good job on an obviously difficult project."
