Doing Business in China – Translation and Localisation
The economy of the People’s Republic of China is now the world’s third largest, a ‘Tiger economy’ and one of the emergent BRIC nations. Since the late 1980s, economic reforms to the Chinese economy have prompted unprecedented growth and massive investment. For China, economic growth has also seen the emergence of a new middle class and associated consumer markets. There’s also been a significant transition from export dependency to the development of large internal markets – and greater interaction between China and the world economy.

Most of us know that the complexities of Chinese language face anyone seeking to communicate with Chinese, Taiwanese or overseas Chinese communities. Only on deeper investigation of Sinitic languages comes full realisation about the huge challenge of business translation for the Chinese economy. ‘Chinese’ isn’t just one language, but a linguistic family consisting of many, mostly mutually unintelligible, regional Chinese dialects. These include Mandarin, Cantonese, Shaojing and others. Indeed, ISO 639-3 recognises Chinese as a macro-language with 13 sub-languages.
