I am a professional English - Chinese translator providing translation on a full-time basis since 2009. I move each year between the US and China, and this unique position living and working in both cultures allows me to create especially accurate, localized and contemporary translations. I speak Mandarin Chinese and English and write Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese and English. The below testimonials (from my Upwork and Elance profiles) prove that I deliver high-quality translations that make an immediate impact on your global ventures, increasing your profits and making you look good -- in English and Chinese! "By far one of the best online experiences I've ever had. A consummate professional and highly recommended." "Ivy provides accurate, fast and high-quality translations. Unlike other translators, she puts in the time and effort to thoroughly understand the source material before beginning." "My colleague in China who proofreads Ivy's translations says she does so with great pleasure as the work is excellent!" "She cared as if she was part of the team, not just a contractor doing a task." LANGUAGE PAIRS: • English to Simplified Chinese • English to Traditional Chinese • Simplified Chinese to English • Traditional Chinese to English I am a native Simplified Chinese speaker from Shandong province, China, where we speak and write a very standard Mandarin similar to that spoken in Beijing. I have studied and written Traditional Chinese for Taiwan since I was young and am highly competent in this language as well; however, as it is not my native language, I ALWAYS provide an independent review of my work by a native Traditional Chinese colleague. I have studied English since I began school, and I taught the language for many years at a private school in China. I now live half the year in the US and half in China, and I read, write and speak English for a US market. However, as English is not my native language, I ALWAYS provide an independent review of my translations into English by a professional English copyeditor to ensure accuracy and a natural translation. SERVICES: • Document Translation • App, Game and Website Localization • Editing • Proofreading • Transcription • Copywriting (Chinese only) I provide professional translations between Chinese and English. I also offer proofreading and editing services, and I am happy to review and critique previous translations into Simplified Chinese. Every document that I translate or software that I localize will be proofread with meticulous detail to ensure the utmost accuracy and quality, and I will firmly calibrate your text for the particular field, tone and target audience. I also contract with a professional translator colleague to provide an independent review of EVERY text that I translate. This independent proofreading is completely free of charge to you; it's at my expense to ensure that I provide the most accurate and highest-quality translation possible! SPECIALIZATIONS: • Marketing Materials • Websites • Education • Travel and Tourism • Business • App and Game Localizations I have solid experience translating everything from technical user manuals to legal contracts to social dating websites. While I am quite capable of working in a variety of fields, over the years I have specialized in the above. I invite you to check out my portfolio on Upwork for several Chinese translation samples. I also have multiple references and additional samples available on request. For more glowing reviews from past satisfied clients, please see my testimonials page further down. GUARANTEE: Working with strangers online is a bit of a leap of faith, and even more so when it involves a foreign language! But it doesn't have to be. If you're not totally happy with my delivered translation, I'll happily make UNLIMITED revisions until you are COMPLETELY satisfied -- no hassles! I look forward to hearing from you!

I bridge the gap between English and Chinese — in language, business, and trade. What I bring to the table: 5M+ words translated. 3 books. 5 websites localized. 10+ winning products sourced and verified. Whether you need a document translated, a product sourced from China, or a factory inspected before shipment, I deliver accurate, reliable results backed by 4+ years of hands-on experience across 12+ industries. I specialize in two areas that most freelancers treat separately: Language Services — English-Chinese translation, transcreation, subtitle work, interpreting (live, phone, or on-site), voiceover, and proofreading. I've translated news, business documents, marketing copy, and full-length books — always with cultural nuance, never word-for-word. China Sourcing & Quality Control — Product sourcing across Alibaba, 1688, Global Sources, Made in China, and Taobao. I handle factory audits, sample inspections, and pre-shipment checks so you don't get surprises when your container arrives. I also create Chinese language courses (3+ built so far), provide teaching and tutoring, and serve as a multilingual virtual assistant for businesses operating between China and the rest of the world. Why that combination matters: Most translators can't walk a factory floor. Most sourcing agents can't catch a contract mistranslation. I do both — which means fewer miscommunications, fewer middlemen, and fewer costly mistakes for your business. → Send me a message with your project details. I respond within a few hours and always start with a clear scope and timeline.
