About the Simplified Chinese language.
Chinese has one main spoken standard, Mandarin, and two written scripts. Simplified Chinese is used in mainland China and Singapore. Traditional Chinese is used in Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macau. Choose by where the text will be read, not by who ordered it. Other Sino-Tibetan languages we translate include Burmese, Cantonese, Dzongkha and Hokkien.
Chinese characters need fonts that support them. When a designed document is translated, our desktop publishing team handles Chinese typesetting and font substitution. Chinese text is usually much shorter than English, which changes page balance, forms and slide layouts. Chinese personal and company names have established romanised forms. We keep names consistent with the source documents, such as passports.
Chinese to English is usually personal, academic, legal and company documents. English to Chinese is usually business, contract and marketing content for mainland China.
Common Chinese documents include birth certificates, degree certificates, academic transcripts and company documents. A certified translation is available. For contracts, see Chinese legal translation. If an authority asks for a sworn translation, ask us to confirm availability for the language pair.

Certified Simplified Chinese translation
For official documents, tell us which institution will receive your Simplified Chinese translation and send its written requirements. We assess the language pair and confirm whether the project needs a signed statement of accuracy, a sworn translator or another process. Acceptance is decided by the receiving institution.
Common documents include birth certificates, marriage certificates, degree certificates and police clearance certificates. Requirements differ between courts, embassies, universities and immigration authorities, so tell us where the Simplified Chinese translation will be submitted and send any written instructions you have. If an authority asks for a sworn translation, ask us to confirm availability for the language pair.
