Chinese

If you need a Chinese text edited or translated, Diction’s in-house Chinese team take care of all your linguistic needs. We will also help you to choose the appropriate type of Chinese for your texts. If your brochure is being published in Hong Kong, our team recommends traditional Chinese, whereas if you are writing a letter to your business partners in Singapore, you should use simplified Chinese. You can also choose between Mandarin and Cantonese. You might also be interested to read our blog article (available in German) on the subject.

Our specialist translation experts are also well versed in cultural peculiarities, bridging both the linguistic and cultural divide between Bern and Beijing and making sure that the tone and communication style are correct. For example, a Swiss “no” can often become a Chinese “maybe” – both the message and the polite tone need to be considered in the translation. Perfect layout? All part of the service. Our clients particularly value our optional layout service for Chinese. We can translate into Chinese directly in InDesign, QuarkXPress or your website’s CMS, so you don’t have to worry about the visual impact.
