Chinese is spoken by more people than any other language in the world. It is
comprised of a number of variants; those that are mutually unintelligible are
considered separate languages by some linguists, but are classed among the many
dialects of Chinese by others.
Spoken Language
Though Chinese has many dialects, Mandarin, based on the pronunciation of
Peking, is considered the standard and is spoken by about two-thirds of the
population. The other major dialects are (I) Wu, spoken by about 50 million
people in the Shanghai area and in Chekiang Province to the south; (2)
Cantonese, spoken by about 45 million people in the extreme southern provinces
of Kwangtung and Kwangsi; (3) Fukienese, or Min, spoken by about 45 million
people, and generally subdivided into Northern Fukienese, or Foochow (15
million speakers), of northern Fukien, and Southern Fukienese, or Amoy (30
million speakers), of southern Fukien, Amoy Island, and Taiwan; (4) Hakka, with
20 million speakers in northeastern Kwang-tung and southern Kiangsi provinces;
(5) Ilsiang, with 15 million speakers in Hunan Province. In addition the
Fukienese dialects are widely spoken in Malaysia and Singapore, while Cantonese
is also spoken in Hong Kong and on the Southeast Asia mainland. Nearly all
Chinese in the United States speak Cantonese.
Chinese, like the other languages of the Sino-Tibetan family, is a tonal
language, meaning that different tones, or intonations, distinguish words that
otherwise are pronounced identically. The four Chinese tones are (I) high
level; (2) high rising; (3) low rising; (4) high falling to low. It is not
unusual for a syllable to be pronounced in each of the four tones, each
yielding a word with a completely different meaning. For example, the word ma
in tone one means "mother," while ma2 means "hemp," ma3 means ''horse," and ma4
means "to curse." In fact each tone usually offers a large number of homonyms.
Yi in tone one can mean, among other things, "one," "clothes," "doctor," and
"to cure"; yi2 "aunt," "doubt, ""suitable," and "to shift"; yi3 "already,"
"because of," and "by"; yi4 "easy," "strange," "benefit," and the number "100
million."
Written Language
There are two forms of written Chinese: Traditional Chinese, which is used
primarily in Taiwan, Hong Kong and other areas outside mainland China and
Simplified Chinese, a written language initially adopted by the People's
Republic of China in 1956, and used primarily in mainland China and Singapore.
Chinese is written with thousands of distinctive characters called ideographs
which have no relation to the sound of a word. In a large dictionary there are
40-50,000 characters, while the telegraphic code book contains nearly 10,000. A
Chinese child learns about 2,000 characters by the time he is ten, but it takes
two or three times as many to be able to read a newspaper or novel. One kind of
Chinese type-writer has 5,400 characters. The number of strokes required to
draw a Chinese character can be as high as 33.
The majority of Chinese characters, however, consist of two elements -a
signific, which indicates the meaning of a word, and a phonetic, which
indicates the sound. The significs, or radicals, number 214 in Chinese, and
indicate the class of objects to which the word belongs. For example, all words
relating to wood, such as "tree" and "table," contain the "wood" radical. The
phonetic consists of the character for a word whose meaning is totally
unrelated to the word in question, but whose pronunciation happens to be the
same. Thus the character for "ocean" consists of the signific "water" plus the
phonetic "sheep," the word for "sheep" being pronounced the same as the word
for "ocean." In some cases the phonetic stands alone, as in the case of the
character for "dustpan" which also stands for the Chinese possessive pronoun,
since the word for the pronoun is the same as the word for "dustpan."
Despite their staggering complexity, the Chinese characters do have the
advantage of making written communication possible between people speaking
mutually unintelligible dialects and languages. A given word may be quite
different in Mandarin and Cantonese, but it would be written identically in the
two dialects. Since the Chinese characters are also used in Japanese, each
language, when written, is partially intelligible to a speaker of the other,
despite the fact that the two spoken languages are totally dissimilar.
Translation Issues
In view of all these different dialects, it is of crucial importance to
identify the target audience when translating for China. Typically, for texts
which are intended for Mainland China, we use Simplified Chinese. Outside the
People's Republic of China, the traditional form remains the standard.
In spite of the different dialects spoken by the Chinese population in America,
the standard form of written communication is Traditional Chinese. When it
comes to interpretation, Mandarin, Cantonese, Fukienese, Chiow-Chiow, etc… may be
the preferred or exclusive language of communication.
Some states with large Chinese-speaking communities mandate the translation of
certain documents (ex., voters' ballots, consent forms, documents for the
protection of nonpublic personal information, etc…) into Traditional Chinese.
Due to the large volume of work in this language, CTS has a Senior Chinese
linguist on staff in addition to a vast network of Chinese translators
(US-based and overseas) covering all Chinese dialects and specialties. As
languages evolve with the culture surrounding them, having resources in-country
and domestically enables us to successfully localize written material according
to the end user.
Whereas the Chinese/English are most commonly requested, CTS also provides
translation and interpretation from/into Chinese into/from a selection of other
languages. For language combinations other than with English, please contact a

Translation and Interpretation from French into English
French is spoken as a first language by more than 70 million people, chiefly in
France (55 million speakers), Belgium (3 million), Switzerland (1.5 million),
former French and Belgian colonies in Africa (5 million), and Canada (6.5
million). Even though speakers of the French language are able to communicate
irrespective of their country of origin, there can be significant differences
in language which must be addressed when localizing a text for a specific
French speaking country. This is particularly relevant when translations are
intended to reach a French Canadian audience. Differences between French
québecois and French are especially notable with vocabulary pertaining to
modern objects or concepts. For a number of terms, European French speakers
tend to borrow English words without altering them. For instance, "a parking
lot" translates as "un parking" in France. Quebec, being geographically
encapsulated in English-speaking territory, has developed its own reaction to
English. New terms are either coined from existing French words, or are derived
from English words using French morphology. Therefore, in French-speaking
Canada, a parking lot is "un stationnement." The French Canadian translation
for "car" is a good illustration of this phenomenon. The formal equivalent is
"voiture" for both Canadian and European French, but the casual name in Canada
is "char" (used only in oral communications), which sounds closer to the
English word, but would be understood as "oxcart" or "Roman chariot" for a
European French speaker.
There are also some differences in terminology for specific technical domains.
Additionally, variations exist in general typesetting rules, such as
punctuation or the use of accents on uppercase characters.
Translation Issues
In spite of these notable differences, it may possible to use the same
translation for both countries depending on industry and content. Canadian
French speakers are used to reading literature or technical documentation in
European French and feel comfortable with it; actually, a significant part of
Canadian French local literature uses standard French. This means that you can
sometimes localize your product into European French and use the same localized
version for Canada. In industries such as IT, life sciences, and other
technical fields however, you will need to plan for terminological adaptation
in addition to the initial localization effort. Keep in mind that sometimes
communication style is just as important as content. When you need to localize
marketing literature, advertising, or websites, it is advisable to organize
separate translations. Accent in spoken language can also be an issue; a French
Canadian voice may sound "unusual" and foreign to a European ear. If you have
audio content, consider recording it with two different voices.
