Traditional Chinese Translation

Simple Facts about Traditional Chinese

• The modern traditional Chinese characters first appeared in the Han Dynasty with the emergence of the clerical script.
• Chinese is not an alphabetic language. Contemporary written Chinese is divided into two sets: simplified and traditional characters.
• Traditional Chinese characters are commonly used in Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macau, Guangdong Province (Mainland China) and some overseas Chinese communities. It has been the legal written form in Hong Kong and Macau since colonial times.
• As the economy develops and tourists from Mainland China increase, Simplified Chinese characters are gaining more influence in Hong Kong and Macau. Local residents have concerns to protect their heritage of traditional Chinese characters.

Things to note:

• Traditional Chinese can be converted to Simplified Chinese when using the MS Office conversion function, but many expressions cannot be modified automatically and have to be manually replaced.
• Most Mainland Chinese people can read traditional Chinese characters but few can write them. Only professional native linguists can offer Traditional Chinese language services.
• Although traditional characters are the official written language in Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macau, the spoken form in Taiwan is Mandarin, whereas the spoken form in Hong Kong and Macau is Cantonese. Cantonese also has its own written form, separate from traditional Chinese characters.
