Localizing for CHINA to Worldwide Markets, & Translating Chinese

Language Translation and Localization

An overview of issues related to growing Chinese markets & sales with Chinese speaking customers.

Most businesses in China employ English speaking personnel particularly those that wish to do business worldwide. To be taken seriously by your intended new customer base you will need to show an indication of your commitment as well as respect. If you can provide accurate translations of all your company's literature & materials to potential clients you gain substantial leverage in proving your company?s value in these new markets.

In Chinese markets there are many additional considerations. Its worth investing the time to study the Asian concepts of "Face" (respect or status), personal obligation and ?relationship? or "Guanxi", personal networking, and other business related ?normalized? behaviors.

Regarding language translation, depending on where you wish to target inside China or related to Chinese audiences you may be required to offer multiple languages such as Taiwanese, Mandarin, etc, as well as dialects and localized versions of your intended language market.
Written language can also be very different per each local region so detailed research is needed or a professional localization company that has operated within your markets with experience.

In many foreign markets the public image of businesses is most important. Great consideration should be placed on the written materials & the preparation that your business shows even prior to any personal visits.
You can protect your image & present the optimal face if you show a highly professional attention to your translation & localization. Correct localization of all business product; be they your business cards, brochures, web sites, software applications, or any other technical materials require a high degree of specialized knowledge & experience. These levels of expertise are further enhanced by regional knowledge and specific localized requirements.
