Language pairs I work with: ※ Japanese ↔ English ※ Mandarin (Simplified Chinese) ↔ English ※ Mandarin (Simplified Chinese) ↔ Japanese ※ Cantonese (Traditional Chinese) ↔ English ※ Cantonese (Traditional Chinese) ↔ Japanese I also translate to and from French, Italian, Spanish, German, and Korean, with the following target languages available: English, Japanese, Simplified Chinese (Mandarin & Cantonese), and Traditional Chinese (Mandarin & Cantonese). ※ A note on Cantonese: Authentic Cantonese is natively spoken only in Guangzhou and Hong Kong. I advise caution when engaging non‑native speakers claiming to offer genuine Cantonese services. I also offer voice‑over services in Cantonese, Mandarin, Japanese, and English, as well as subtitle creation and video/audio editing. I bring deep cultural knowledge of Chinese and Japanese calligraphy, history, religion, and broader traditions.

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.

At a Glance: English-to-Chinese Translation

If you’re doing business in China or trying to reach a Chinese-speaking audience, an experienced translator or native Chinese speaker can help you communicate effectively. An English-to-Chinese translation expert can help you translate and interpret content like graphics, documents, video, or personal correspondence accurately while remaining true to its meaning and tone. They can also be valuable guides in helping to identify the appropriate dialect for your needs.

Skilled Chinese translators are versed in the multiple forms of both written and spoken Chinese. Simplified Chinese (also called Chinese Simplified) is a modern set of Chinese characters that are used in the People’s Republic of China as well as in Singapore. Traditional Chinese uses an older set of characters and is commonly used in Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan. Dialects are important to an accurate translation as well. While there are many different spoken Chinese dialects in different regions, Mandarin and Cantonese are the two primary—and most distinct—dialects used. Cantonese is primarily spoken in Hong Kong, Macau, and parts of southern China; people in mainland China commonly speak Mandarin.
