Traditional Chinese is one of the oldest and most widely spoken languages of the world. Historically, it has also been one of the most influential, with its script being a part of many East Asian languages. Translation from Traditional Chinese to English requires highly specialized skills as the languages are embedded in two entirely distinct socio-political and socio-cultural sub-stratums and have distinct historical backgrounds.
Traditional Chinese has a unique writing system that has been in continuous use for centuries. Unlike English, which has a phonetic system consisting of 26 alphabets, Traditional Chinese has an ideographic writing system comprising thousands of characters in which each character/ideograph represents a word or syllable and forms a meaningful unit. Although both the languages are subject-verb-object (SVO) languages, word order in Traditional Chinese is loose. Words do not have plural markers similar to the use of “s” in English, there are no articles, and the concept of time is conveyed not through tense but through the use of time expressions. While syntactic structure, grammatical accuracy, and the logical relationship between sentences (or between various elements in a sentence, through use of conjunctions, relative pronouns etc.) is used to convey appropriate meaning in English, in Traditional Chinese, it is the context that provides the logic and the connections necessary to convey the meaning.
At So-Translation, we have the expertise to derive accurate meaning from this maze of linguistic, socio-cultural, and contextual constraints and break free to provide translation that is 100% reliable: accurate, precise, clearly expressed, and completely trustworthy.
