Direction & readers
Specify German into Chinese or the reverse. Identify the Chinese script, country or region, intended readers and approver.
Europe
Chinese ⇄ German
translation
German work is concentrated in machinery, automotive and industrial documentation — sectors where the language is a market-access requirement rather than a courtesy.
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 a German deliverable is usable.
01
Compound nouns break layouts
German forms long single-word compounds. Interface labels, table headers and equipment plates designed against compact Chinese source frequently do not fit, and hyphenation rules constrain how the text can break.
02
Machinery Directive language obligations
Equipment entering the EU carries language requirements for instructions and safety content. This is a documented obligation, not a preference, and it shapes what has to be delivered.
03
Terminology tied to standards
German technical vocabulary maps closely onto DIN and EN standards. The standard term is the correct term even where a more natural-sounding alternative exists.
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 German target-language review and the delivery format. Native-speaker production or review follows the L3/L4 scope.

Files & terminology
Send editable source files, revision identifiers and approved references. Flag compound nouns break layouts; machinery directive language obligations; terminology tied to standards.

Confirm review depth, layout checking, final file format and deadline. Agree how terminology questions and subsequent source changes will be handled.
Send sensitive files only after confirming handling arrangements. Add source files in your email application; the contact form prepares an inquiry draft.
Questions about German and Chinese translation
Can you translate German into Chinese and Chinese into German?
Discuss either direction with the team. Confirm the target market, Chinese script, document type and required specialist review before work starts. The published cases on this page record specific projects, not every possible use.
What needs checking in this language pair?
The project checks include compound nouns break layouts; machinery directive language obligations; terminology tied to standards. Agree which checks, layout tasks and acceptance criteria apply to your files.
Is the displayed rate my final quotation?
The published English ⇄ German rate-card row is shown as a reference, not a confirmed Chinese ⇄ German offer. Send the files to confirm this direction, counting basis, review and layout scope. An instant estimate is a budget reference; delivery dates and the final price are agreed after file review.
What should I send for a quotation?
Send the current source, language direction, target market, intended use, required deadline and editable-file format. Include approved terminology and AI restrictions. Tell us about your project. We acknowledge within 4 hours and assign a project manager, then return a formal quote within 24 — large and multi-language programmes included.
