About the Traditional Chinese language.
Traditional Chinese characters are the standard written form in Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macau, while mainland China and Singapore use Simplified Chinese. Traditional Chinese is a script, not a spoken language: Hong Kong's main spoken language is Cantonese and Taiwan's is Mandarin, yet written text in both uses Traditional characters. Other Sino-Tibetan languages we translate include Burmese, Cantonese, Dzongkha and Hokkien.
Vocabulary and usage differ between Taiwan and Hong Kong, in everyday words as well as technical terms, so tell us which market the text is for and we match the translator to it.
Traditional Chinese to English work is usually personal, academic and company documents from Taiwan and Hong Kong, such as birth certificates, degree certificates and academic transcripts. Certified translation is available, and if an authority asks for a sworn translation, ask us to confirm availability for the language pair.
English to Traditional Chinese work is usually business, website and marketing content. Traditional characters need fonts that support them, so our desktop publishing team handles typesetting for designed documents.

Requirements differ between courts, embassies, universities and immigration authorities, so tell us where the Traditional Chinese translation will be submitted and send any written instructions you have.
