If we are not the best, we are on our way to being the best.Interesting Facts About Chinese Language
- Chinese is the highest spoken language in the world. Over 1 billion people – nearly one-fifth of the world’s population – speak Chinese as their native language.
- Written Chinese is not an alphabetic language. We call Chinese characters “squared characters”.
- The Chinese script is a logographic script structured so that each character represents a single concept and characters are then combined to form compound words. Although there are several distinct languages or dialects spoken in China (including Mandarin and Cantonese), the written characters are uniformly understood across the whole country (including Hong Kong and Taiwan) because the characters are based on meaning, not on sound.
Considerations Before Hiring Chinese Translation Service
- Professional Chinese translators usually work with only one of the two written versions: simplified or traditional Chinese characters.
- The traditional Chinese used in Taiwan differs from that of Hong Kong and also from that of Chinese communities abroad in Europe and America.
- Many companies treat them as two separate languages and have separate teams.
- It is important to carefully understand your target market so always check with your clients to determine the correct version to use.
Simplified vs. Traditional
There are two variations of written Chinese characters: simplified and traditional.
- Traditional Chinese is the older form of the script and is used in Taiwan, Hong Kong, and other locations abroad, including various “Chinatowns” in the west. Traditional Chinese characters are both more complex and more numerous than their simplified counterparts.
- Simplified Chinese came about as a result of reducing the stroke-count of traditional characters to make them easier to remember and write. Simplified Chinese was developed in Mainland China (and adopted in Singapore) in order to increase literacy. As part of the simplification process, many traditional characters were collapsed into one unified character in the simplified version.
