I am a native Simplified Chinese translator, literary translator, fiction writer, and localization specialist with more than five years of experience. I translate English into natural, audience-ready Chinese for fiction, games, short dramas, subtitles, marketing, brand, and business content. My specialty is voice and register. This does not mean making every text sound literary. A product page should be clear, a campaign persuasive, a subtitle immediate, and a character unmistakably themselves. I adapt the language to the purpose of each project while preserving the meaning, tone, and intent of the source. I have localized, proofread, and synchronized more than 40 hours of dialogue across 20+ serialized short-drama projects. My work includes checking Chinese against the English source, correcting mistranslations and unnatural phrasing, adapting dialogue for native speaking rhythm, maintaining terminology and character consistency, and working within subtitle timing and line-length constraints. My background also includes brand strategy, market research, and commercial copywriting for projects involving vivo. I understand how to write for a specific audience, communication goal, and brand voice rather than translating word for word. My services include: - Literary translation and fiction editing - Game narrative, dialogue, character, and store-page localization - Short-drama and audiovisual localization - Subtitle translation, editing, timecoding, and synchronization - Marketing, brand, website, SEO, and business content - Chinese copywriting and transcreation - Linguistic QA, proofreading, and AI or machine-translation review - Chinese transcription and captioning - Mandarin voiceover and audio post-production I work with Subtitle Edit, Final Cut Pro, DaVinci Resolve, and Logic Pro X. I am comfortable handling SRT, VTT, JSON, spreadsheets, glossaries, style guides, and other structured localization files. I hold a BA in Chinese Language and Literature from Xiamen University and a Level 2-A Mandarin Proficiency Certificate. Alongside my commercial work, I write fiction and have independently translated works by J.D. Salinger, Richard Brautigan, Raymond Carver, Charles Bukowski, and other modern English-language writers. Whether a project requires close fidelity, cultural adaptation, or creative transcreation, I communicate clearly, flag ambiguities instead of guessing, and review every deliverable carefully before submission. Please send me a sample together with the word count or runtime, file format, target audience, and deadline. I will review the material and suggest an appropriate workflow and quote. I am also open to a brief paid test.
