Organize company-qualification documents for Chinese translation: source languages, entity names, document references and recipient delivery needs.
View references (1) ↓Inventory the pack by entity and source language
A company-qualification pack translated into Chinese needs a file register, not just a combined page count. List each document by issuing entity, source language, title, date and version. Separate duplicate copies from distinct documents that happen to have similar names.
State the recipient and purpose of the pack. An internal supplier review and another organization’s document request can require different selections and formats. Use the recipient’s actual list to define the translation scope, without assuming that one universal qualification checklist applies to every company.

- Entity 02 / source file
- DEMO-ENTITY-02 · ES-01
- Original entity names
- Retain the exact original name from each source file; do not merge the two entity records.
- Chinese name decisions · separate fields
- DEMO-ENTITY-01：中文名称由主体一文件负责人确认；DEMO-ENTITY-02：由主体二文件负责人分别确认。
- Document references
- EN-01 / AR-01 belong to Entity 01; ES-01 belongs to Entity 02. Keep each issuing date.

Company-qualification documents across three source languages.
COSCO’s record identifies English, Arabic and Spanish company-qualification documents into Chinese. This register does not reproduce its files.
Send the qualification-file register, source languages, entity list, approved Chinese names, intended recipient and required output. For a multilingual pack, list each source language in your brief. The main inquiry leaves the source language open; the shortcuts below preselect one language and remain editable.
Connect entity names across different records
Provide approved Chinese company names where available and distinguish registered names, trading names and names of related entities. Keep original names available for comparison. If two documents refer to different companies, do not make them appear to be one entity merely to achieve consistent wording.
Record document numbers, dates, issuing organizations and attachment references in a shared register. Note a name variation as a question for the document owner. Translating a pack does not verify its authenticity, establish corporate status or replace the recipient’s assessment of the underlying documents.
Coordinate several source languages into one Chinese pack
When different languages describe the same entity, align the approved Chinese names and repeated terms across the files. Preserve each document’s source identity and date. Similar-looking versions should be compared before work starts so an obsolete copy is not treated as an additional current record.
Agree file naming, bilingual or Chinese-only output, handling of seals or images and the order of the returned documents. Ask the recipient about any separate certification requirements. Such requirements need to be identified in the brief, rather than assumed to be included in ordinary document translation.
Compare the COSCO scope and prepare an itemized inquiry
The COSCO Shipping case records company-qualification documents from English, Arabic and Spanish into Chinese, coordinated for simultaneous delivery. It supports that multilingual document scope; it does not identify a specific certificate list or promise a procurement outcome.
For Arabic records, use Arabic-to-Chinese preparation. For Spanish records, continue through Spanish-to-Chinese services; for English files, use English-to-Chinese preparation. Select the actual source language in the inquiry. The China document preparation pack helps organize a wider file set, while this guide focuses on company identity across qualification documents.
Questions
Can English, Arabic and Spanish records be quoted together?
Should different company names be made identical in Chinese?
Does translation verify the qualification documents?
