Chinese Corporate Translation Services

Chinese Corporate Translation Services

As one of the oldest languages on earth, the Chinese language can be the most difficult and important to translate, especially regarding its growing international business presence. ASTA-USA’s experienced, accredited human translators can expertly navigate the intricacies and subtleties of translating the Chinese language. With over a decade of career translation experience, our native-speaking translators provide your company with dependable, 100% accurate translations for every project.

China is home to one of the most ancient cultures of the world, and finds itself today at the epicenter of globalization. This duality is mirrored in the challenges that the Chinese translator faces, especially in the areas of business and legal translation: The expression and rendition of modern concepts in one of the oldest languages known. ASTA’s Chinese language translation services effectively mitigate this difficult barrier.

While standard written Chinese for all Chinese language variants is, in essence, Standard Mandarin, Cantonese also has a written form that includes unique characters not found elsewhere, and records of legal documents in Hong Kong often use written Cantonese to record exactly what a witness has said. Taiwanese Mandarin, on the other hand, has developed different terminologies for newer concepts compared to Mainland China due to the political separation in 1949 – including common daily terms like “CD,” “Software,” or “database.”

Most importantly for Chinese translation services is the fact that two different writing systems exist today, traditional and simplified characters, and while the latter is the norm in Mainland China as well as in Singapore, traditional characters are still used in Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Macau.

So in order to assign the right professional Chinese translator for a particular project, it must first be established what type of text the client would like to have translated, and for what audience it is intended.

At ASTA-USA Translation Services, Inc., we only recruit and retain highly skilled, professional Chinese translators who assist us in identifying the specific needs of our clients in terms of source and target markets. We make sure that all questions pertaining to style of character and layout are discussed beforehand.

Considering the complexity of the rapidly evolving Chinese legal system as one of the most important aspects of the economic modernization in China, Chinese legal translators must be aware of the context of the document(s) to be translated to ensure that the appropriate terms and concepts are used. Furthermore, the text must not only be technically correct but also look familiar in the target language. Nuances in tone and form are crucial to guarantee legal validity.

With judicial and contractual framework being the foundation of business growth worldwide, ASTA-USA Translation Services’ high quality Chinese translation services facilitate global relationships that bring East and West, old and new worlds, closer together, never overlooking the fine differences within each culture.

中文翻译服务

中国是世界文明古国之一,如今更是处于全球化舞台的中心。这种双重特点反映在中文译者面对的挑战中,尤其是在商务和法律翻译领域中:即用最古老的语言之一表达和翻译现代概念。ASTA提供的中文翻译服务能够有效跨越这种障碍。

虽然各种中文变体的标准书面语言本质上仍是标准汉语,然而粤语也有书面形式,其中包含了独有的汉字,比如,香港法律文件记录常常使用书面粤语确切记录目击证人的证词。另一方面,由于 1949 年政治上的分离,台湾国语也形成了不同于大陆的新概念术语,包括像 “光碟”、“软体” 或 “资料库” 这样的日常词汇。

对中文翻译服务而言最重要的一个情况是,两种不同的书写系统——繁体和简体中文如今是并存的,后者为大陆以及新加坡所采用,繁体则仍然使用于香港、台湾和澳门。

为了针对具体项目分配恰当的职业译者,必须首先确定客户希望翻译的译文文本类型以及译文受众。

ASTA-USA Translation Services, Inc.及其法律翻译服务部门Legal Translation Solutions只招聘和留用具备高技能的专业中文译者,他们可以根据源市场和目标市场帮助我们辨别客户的具体需求。我们确保所有牵涉文字风格和版式的问题都会事先讨论。

作为中国经济现代化最重要的一个方面,中国法律体系发展快速,也由此导致其复杂性,因而中文法律译者必须关注待翻译文件的语境,以确保术语和概念使用恰当。另外,文本不仅应在技术层面正确,同时还应符合目标语言习惯。关注语气和形式的微妙之处对确保法律效力至关重要。
