I will translate and localize your content between english and chinese
About this Gig
English-Chinese translation that reads as if written in your language first.
Most translation fails the same way: right word by word, wrong as a whole -- stiff phrasing, missed idioms, wrong tone. I translate for meaning and reader, at native level.
My background is bilingual film production, where dialogue and subtitles are checked frame by frame. Consistent terms, verified names and numbers, read-aloud check.
What I translate and localize:
- Websites, landing pages, app and UI strings
- Product listings and e-commerce copy
- Subtitles and video scripts (SRT-ready on Premium)
- Business documents, presentations, articles, newsletters
How I work:
1. You send source text, audience, and tone
2. I translate and localize, adapting idioms, units, references
3. QC pass: consistency, names, numbers, read-aloud check
4. Clean file back, in your original format
Transparency note: AI tools speed up my research and first drafts; every translation is then worked through line by line under human supervision and verified -- never raw machine output.
New storefront -- launch pricing while I build first reviews. Message me if unsure which fits.

FAQ
Is this machine translation?
No. AI tools only speed up my terminology research and drafting. The translation itself is worked through line by line under human supervision — idioms, tone, and cultural references adapted by judgment, not software defaults. Send a short test paragraph and see for yourself.
Which direction do you translate?
Both. English → Chinese and Chinese → English are equally native-level for me, including Simplified Chinese (简体) and, on request, Traditional Chinese (繁體). Tell me your target audience's region (Mainland, Taiwan, Hong Kong, overseas) and I'll match the vocabulary and conventions.
What formats can you work with?
Word, Excel, PowerPoint, PDF (text-based), plain text, SRT/VTT subtitle files, and website/app string files (JSON, CSV, PO). You'll get your file back in the same format, formatting preserved wherever the format allows.
Can you match our existing terminology or brand voice?
Yes — send your glossary, style guide, or previous translations, and I'll follow them consistently across the whole document. Premium orders include a glossary I build for you, so future orders stay consistent too.
What if my text is longer than the package limit?
Message me first with the file or word count. I'll quote a custom order at the same per-word rate as the package you choose — no surprises, and I'll tell you the exact delivery date before you pay.
