Chinese translation service

Mandarin Chinese or Putonghua is the official spoken language of the People’s Republic of China and Cantonese is a dialect used in Hong Kong and parts of Southern China, particularly Guangdong Province.

The People’s Republic of China uses a simplified style of characters but those Chinese speaking countries and territories outside of the mainland have retained the un-simplified form, i.e. Taiwan and Hong Kong.

Korean translation service

The Korean language (한국어 / 조선어) is the official language of both North and South Korea. Korean is also spoken widely in neighbouring Yanbian, China. Worldwide, there are around 78 million Korean speakers, including large groups in the former Soviet Union, the United States, Canada, Brazil, Japan, and more recently the Philippines.

Japanese translation service

Japanese has been heavily influenced by Chinese over a period of at least 1,500 years. It is written with a mix of borrowed Chinese characters (kanji) and a modified syllabary (kana), also originally based on Chinese characters with similar pronunciation. Scholarly and scientific vocabulary has been imported from Chinese, or created on Chinese models, in a way that is similar to the influence of Latin on European languages. Japanese also shares grammatical features with Chinese, such as the use of topic-comment constructions and classifiers, as do many other Eastern Asian languages.
