Hire the Best Chinese to English Translators
in New Zealand

I help media companies, e-learning platforms and content creators bring their video and audio content to Chinese-speaking audiences — accurately, naturally, and on time. If you're working with AI-dubbed Mandarin or Cantonese content, I catch what automated tools miss: unnatural phrasing, off-rhythm pacing, lip-sync drift, and pronunciation that doesn't match how real speakers actually talk today. I'm a native Mandarin and Simplified Chinese speaker, fluent in Cantonese and English, based in New Zealand. I hold a Bachelor's degree in English Translation and a Postgraduate Certificate in Translation and Interpreting from the University of Canterbury — so my work isn't just bilingual, it's trained and precise. My core services: 🎬 AI Dubbing & Video QC — Timecoded feedback on pronunciation, pacing, lip sync and audio issues for Mandarin and Cantonese. I stay current with Chinese speech patterns, online communication styles and platform norms, so I can tell you not just what sounds wrong, but exactly how to fix it naturally. 🌐 Translation & Localization — English to Simplified Chinese translation with real localization, not word-for-word conversion. Includes Chinese social-media localization for WeChat, Xiaohongshu and similar platforms, where tone and cultural fit matter as much as accuracy. ✏️ Proofreading & AI Content Review — Chinese-language proofreading and review of AI-generated content, ensuring it reads like a native wrote it. 🎙️ Transcription & Recording — Mandarin and Cantonese transcription and voice recording services. 📦 Product Sourcing & Trade — With over 10 years in international sourcing, supplier communication and logistics — including Alibaba, 1688 and Taobao — I also support businesses sourcing products from China, from supplier vetting through to shipment coordination. I deliver accurate work, clear communication and reliable turnaround. If you're not sure whether your project fits, just send me a message — I'm happy to take a look before you commit.
