Chinese translation services for Simplified and Traditional
Chinese is written with characters, and there are two standard sets of them, while the spoken language has several varieties. A good translation into Chinese uses the characters of the place where the document will be used, and a translation from Chinese keeps names, dates and seals exactly as in the original.
- Characters: Simplified Chinese is used in mainland China and Singapore, and Traditional Chinese in Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macau, so country is written 国 in one and 國 in the other.
- Speech: Mandarin is the official spoken language of mainland China and Taiwan and one of the official languages of Singapore, and Cantonese is spoken in Hong Kong, Macau and Guangdong. Our Mandarin translation services cover documents written in standard Chinese, whatever the variety the person speaks.
- Names: the surname comes first, so in Wang Xiaoming the family name is Wang. Mainland passports spell names in pinyin, while Hong Kong and Taiwan use other romanizations, so the same surname 陈 can be Chen or Chan. The translation follows the spelling in the passport.
- Dates and numbers: dates are written year, month and day, as in 2026年10月3日, and large numbers are counted in units of ten thousand (万), so 5万 is 50,000.
- Documents: Chinese families keep a household register (hukou, 户口簿), adults carry a resident identity card (居民身份证), and birth, marriage and criminal record certificates are often issued by a notary office as notarial certificates (公证书). The translation reproduces every red seal, stamp and note.
The history of the Chinese language
Chinese is one of the oldest written languages still in use. Its oldest texts are the oracle bone inscriptions of the Shang dynasty, carved more than 3,000 years ago. Each character stands for a syllable with a meaning, not for a single sound, which is why the same writing could be read across regions that spoke very differently.
In 221 BC, Qin Shi Huang, the first emperor of a unified China, made one script the standard for the whole empire. Over the centuries, the speech of the imperial officials became a common language, and the English word mandarin came through Portuguese, from those officials. In the 20th century, the pronunciation of Beijing became the basis of the national standard, and in the 1950s mainland China introduced Simplified characters and the pinyin alphabet.
Today Chinese has more than a billion speakers, the largest number of any language as a mother tongue, and it is official in mainland China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macau and Singapore. It is one of the six official languages of the United Nations, and Chinese communities around the world keep it alive in Traditional and Simplified characters.

Help Center
Turnaround, price, accepted documents and how to order: the most common questions are already answered in the Help Center, organized by topic.
Do you translate Simplified and Traditional Chinese?
Yes. We translate documents from mainland China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macau and Singapore, to and from English, Portuguese, Italian, Russian and Arabic, in Simplified or Traditional characters. Tell us the country where the translation will be used, and we follow its characters and the spelling of the names in the passport.
Can you translate between two languages other than English, such as Italian to Portuguese?
Often yes, depending on the pair and the service. For certified translation we confirm translator availability. For sworn translation into Portuguese, some pairs require a two-step route through English. We tell you the option before quoting.
Is the translation done by people or by machine?
By people. Every document is translated by a professional linguist and goes through double human review for accuracy, grammar, formatting and consistency before delivery.
Can you do a sworn translation from any language into Portuguese?
It depends on the language pair, because a sworn translation requires a public translator registered for that language. For pairs without one, we can offer a two-step route: certified translation into English, then sworn translation from English into Portuguese. We confirm before quoting.
Which documents do you translate?
Birth, marriage and death certificates, divorce decrees, diplomas and transcripts, driver's licenses, passports and IDs, criminal records, bank and financial statements, medical and vaccination records, contracts, affidavits and court documents, among others. Send a photo and we confirm.
A name is spelled differently from my passport. Can you change it?
The translation reproduces names exactly as they appear in the original document. If we made a typo, we fix it at no cost. If the original itself has a different spelling, tell us before we start and we will guide you on how to handle it.
