We provide Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese translation and can translate documents from Chinese to English or from English to Chinese.

Hire a Professional Chinese Translator

Need to hire a Chinese translator for a legal, business, technical or official document? All Language Alliance, Inc. assigns professional Chinese translators based on the language combination, subject matter, document type and intended use of the translation.

Chinese-to-English assignments may involve contracts, court records, pleadings, discovery documents, corporate records, patents, technical materials, medical records, correspondence, certificates, government records and other documents originating in mainland China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macao or elsewhere. English-to-Chinese translations can be prepared in Simplified or Traditional Chinese according to the intended audience, jurisdiction, receiving authority and purpose of the document.

For time-sensitive projects, send us the documents and explain where and how the translation will be used. We can determine the appropriate Chinese translator and provide information about availability, cost and turnaround time.

English to Simplified Chinese Translation

English to Simplified Chinese translation services may be required for contracts, court documents, corporate records, patents, technical materials, medical documents and other records intended for use in mainland China. All Language Alliance, Inc. can assign professional Chinese translators with subject-matter experience appropriate for the document, its intended use and the receiving authority or organization.

Chinese encompasses numerous spoken varieties, including Mandarin, Cantonese, Hakka and many regional varieties and dialects. Mandarin is widely used in mainland China, Taiwan and Chinese-speaking communities internationally, while Cantonese and other varieties remain important in particular regions and communities. The appropriate Chinese translator or interpreter therefore depends on the written form, spoken variety, jurisdiction, subject matter and intended use.

You will also need to decide whether to have your English documents translated using Simplified Chinese characters, Traditional Chinese characters, or both. As a general rule, Simplified Chinese characters are used for documents intended for a mainland Chinese audience.

Translate English Documents to Traditional Chinese

Whether a document should be translated into Simplified Chinese or Traditional Chinese depends on where and how the translation will be used. Simplified Chinese is generally used in mainland China, while Traditional Chinese is commonly used in Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macao. All Language Alliance, Inc. can assign an appropriate Chinese translator based on the target jurisdiction, intended audience, subject matter and receiving authority.

Mandarin Chinese Translation Services

Professional Mandarin Chinese translation services may involve legal documents, business correspondence, contracts, technical materials, medical records, patents, government records and other specialized content. Chinese translation requires more than word-for-word substitution, particularly when terminology, names, titles, dates, seals or jurisdiction-specific expressions may affect the meaning of a document.

For legal and evidentiary materials, the translator may also need to preserve distinctions that are important to attorneys, courts or other receiving authorities rather than attempting to make the translated document read as though it were originally written in English. All Language Alliance, Inc. assigns Chinese translators with experience appropriate to the subject matter and intended use of the translation.

Certified Chinese Translator & Certified Chinese Translation Services

All Language Alliance, Inc. provides certified Chinese translation services for Chinese-to-English and English-to-Chinese documents. We provide certified translations of birth certificates, marriage certificates, divorce decrees, diplomas and transcripts, corporate records, contracts, court documents, powers of attorney and other official documents. When certification is appropriate for the intended use, the completed translation can be accompanied by a signed Certificate of Accuracy.

All Language Alliance, Inc. provides Chinese legal translation services for attorneys, law firms, businesses and individuals requiring Chinese-to-English or English-to-Chinese translation of contracts, pleadings, court documents, discovery materials, exhibits, corporate records, patents and other legal documents. For litigation involving large collections of Chinese-language electronically stored information, we also assign Chinese translators for multilingual eDiscovery, document review and translation of potentially relevant evidence.

Chinese legal documents may contain specialized terminology, personal and corporate names, dates, seals, stamps, handwritten material and jurisdiction-specific conventions that require careful treatment in translation. The appropriate written form—Simplified or Traditional Chinese—must also be determined according to the document’s intended use. For litigation matters, consistency of terminology, names and defined terms across pleadings, exhibits, discovery materials, deposition documents and previously translated records can be particularly important.

Send All Language Alliance, Inc. your Chinese or English documents to request a quote for certified or legal Chinese translation. For depositions, arbitration and other legal proceedings, we can also assign Mandarin Chinese and Cantonese interpreters for remote and on-site assignments.

Chinese eDiscovery & Litigation Document Translation

Chinese-language electronically stored information may include emails, text and chat messages, corporate records, spreadsheets, presentations, contracts, technical documents and other potentially relevant evidence. All Language Alliance, Inc. assigns Chinese translators for multilingual eDiscovery, document review, translation of responsive documents and preparation of Chinese-language materials for litigation.

For matters involving both Simplified and Traditional Chinese, or documents originating in multiple Chinese-speaking jurisdictions, we can assign translators according to the language, document type and subject matter while helping maintain consistent terminology across related litigation materials.

Chinese Historical Document Translation & Archival Research

All Language Alliance, Inc. can assign bilingual Chinese-English historical researchers and translators for on-site research in archives and academic libraries involving Chinese-language primary sources. Research projects may involve Chinese and Taiwanese historical materials such as civil and family records, genealogical materials, newspaper articles, diaries, correspondence, photographs, artwork, interviews and archival records. We can combine archival research with Chinese document transcription and translation when a project requires both language expertise and historical-record research.

Mandarin & Cantonese Deposition Interpreters for Remote and On-Site Depositions

All Language Alliance, Inc. assigns experienced Mandarin Chinese and Cantonese deposition interpreters for remote video depositions and on-site depositions throughout the United States and internationally. We also provide Chinese interpreters for court proceedings, international arbitration, attorney-client meetings, witness preparation, examinations under oath and other legal proceedings.

In addition to Mandarin and Cantonese, we can assign interpreters for Chinese varieties and regional languages when required, including Shanghainese, Ningbo, Fuzhou/Foochow/Fuzhounese and Toishanese/Taishanese. For litigation involving Chinese-language documents, we can coordinate deposition interpreting with Chinese legal translation and multilingual eDiscovery services.

Depending on the document, issuing authority and intended use, the appropriate Apostille may be issued by a state competent authority or the U.S. Department of State. We can coordinate the Apostille process and provide certified Chinese translation of the underlying U.S. document and, when required, translation of the Apostille certificate into Simplified or Traditional Chinese.
