Three Types of Chinese Transcription Services We Offer

China is a country of incredible linguistic diversity with over 302 languages spoken, including Portuguese. Additionally, there are many other specific dialects depending on which area of China you are in. With the world’s second largest economy, China is a country that most business want to trade in. This, however, can present problems when it comes to language barriers.

Using an established translations and transcriptions company, like Absolute Translations, can eliminate any issues you may face. We can help you choose the correct language and dialect for the region of China you wish to target. Our native-speaking team can then work to accurately transcribe your text.

In this blog post, we are going to discuss the types of Chinese transcription services that we provide:

Simplified or Traditional – what’s the difference?

Introduced to increase literacy in China, Simplified Chinese is used throughout mainland China. Also known as Mandarin, it is taught in other countries such as Singapore, Malaysia, and Southeast Asia. The other main form of Chinese is Traditional – or Cantonese. At Absolute Translations, our transcriptionists work and live in China to provide accurate and localised transcriptions for your audio and video files, no matter which form of Chinese you wish to have your material transcribed into.

Cantonese

As the oldest form of traditional script in China, it is essential for any business to be able to transcribe Cantonese accurately. It is the official language of Hong Kong, which is categorised as the world’s 8th largest trading economy. Using transcription services can help businesses confidently branch out into new territories, such as Hong Kong. Here at Absolute Translations, we cover a wide range of sectors including IT, medicine, and law. You can rest assured that your audio visual will be transcribed by professionals who are experts within these fields.

Mandarin

Mandarin can be difficult to master. Hard selling and pressure tactics are not in the Chinese business nature. Mandarin speakers express themselves indirectly and care needs to be taken when expressing tone in your transcriptions. Our highly skilled team of transcriptionists work closely with video editors to ensure the original message of your content is portrayed within your transcriptions, avoiding any tonal issues.
