Direction & readers
Specify English into Chinese or the reverse. Identify the Chinese script, country or region, intended readers and approver.
Europe
Chinese ⇄ English
translation
The pair that carries most of the volume, and the one where the direction matters most: material going into Chinese is read by people inside the market, while material coming out of Chinese is read by a team who will not skip a term because it is unfamiliar.
Start with Simplified Chinese; change the script and market in your inquiry.

What this pair actually demands
Every language pair has its own failure modes. These are the ones that decide whether an English deliverable is usable.
01
Both directions are common here
Unlike most pairs on this site, English ⇄ Chinese runs heavily in both directions — market-entry material going in, and technical documentation, filings and corporate reporting coming out.
02
Expansion and contraction
Chinese is compact. English rendered from Chinese typically runs longer, which matters for anything with a fixed layout — UI strings, labels, packaging, table cells.
03
Terminology drift across a programme
Long English⇄Chinese programmes are where a termbase earns its cost: the same product, standard or component named three ways across a document set is the most common defect we are asked to fix.
Plan both sides of the language pair
A clear brief connects source comprehension, target-language writing and specialist review. Confirm the team and review scope for your document type rather than relying on location or native-language status alone.
Into Chinese
Confirm the Chinese script and market, approved terms, intended readers and the review level needed for release.
Out of Chinese
Clarify source-specific terms and references, then agree English target-language review and the delivery format. Native-speaker production or review follows the L3/L4 scope.
