What this pair actually demands

Every language pair has its own failure modes. These are the ones that decide whether a Thai deliverable is usable.

01
No spaces between words

Thai is written without inter-word spacing, so line breaking requires dictionary-based segmentation rather than a space search. Software that assumes spaces will break Thai text in the wrong places, and the error is invisible to anyone who does not read Thai.

02
Tone marks and vertical stacking

Thai stacks marks above and below the base line. Insufficient line height clips them, which turns a correct translation into an unreadable page.

03
Register and royal vocabulary

Thai has register distinctions that a general-purpose workflow will flatten. Formal documentation and consumer copy are not interchangeable.

Why this pair is staffed from China

These are not languages we source ad hoc. Thai is taught as a degree subject at Chinese universities and has been for decades, and there is continuous movement of students, professionals and long-term residents between China and the countries where it is spoken. That is the pool the work is staffed from, and it is why the rate reflects the Chinese market rather than an agency markup.

Into Chinese

Written by linguists living in the Chinese market, so the output reads as though it was written for its reader rather than translated toward them.

Out of Chinese

The Chinese source is read by people to whom its vocabulary is ordinary; the Thai is produced or reviewed by a native speaker at L3 and L4.
