Mandarin is the most spoken and written language in the world. We have a number of tried-and-tested professional linguists available for translation, proofreading, localisation, editing and validation services into or from Simplified or Traditional Chinese.
All of our Mandarin linguists are well-versed in translation and localisation management software, ensuring the language used is both current and consistent in the approach to terminology, tone and, in general, translations that are true to their original. This is imperative in gaining traction in foreign markets.
