One of the most difficult and widespread languages needing translation is the Chinese language. Many people believe that there is only one form of written and spoken Chinese. However, that is far from the truth. There are two main forms of Chinese: Traditional Chinese and Simplified Chinese. Traditional Chinese characters are used in Hong Kong, Taiwan and Macau. Simplified Chinese characters are used in Mainland China. Most of China, Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan and other overseas Chinese communities speak a form of Mandarin and/or Cantonese. In Mainland China, Mandarin is the official language and the most popular dialect. Cantonese is spoken in the Guangdong and Southern Guangxi provinces of Mainland China and in Hong Kong and Macau.

 

There is a difference between the two and it is important you know what form of Chinese you need. HuayiNet Translation will help you in determining this if you are unsure.

 

We understand that China is more than just a country of more than one billion people. China is filled with different cultures, dialects and, most importantly, potential customers. Chinese is spoken throughout China, Singapore, Taiwan, the Phillipines and Hong Kong. Therefore, it is imperative that the right format of Chinese is used in your translation.
