About Translatus China

There are currently three staff members at Translatus China, and we look forward to welcoming more as we grow in the region. The Translatus China staff speaks Mandarin, Cantonese and English.

Translatus staff in China will concentrate on developing new business relationships with Chinese companies and will ensure our existing customers get the support they need for their communications in the Chinese market.

We will also establish a second operations center for job processing at the Beijing office. The opening of the new operations center brings us closer to our goal of truly becoming a 24-hour service provider. As Translatus expands into other continents, our clients in every time zone will benefit from having multiple centers of operation around the world working together remotely to process jobs more efficiently.

By knowing the market and buying locally, we have a competitive advantage in that we are able to select the best of Chinese translators and interpreters. People buying translations in China often find that they are charged more or given poor quality because they don't speak the language. Translatus believes that speaking the right language is the key to our clients' success. Our Chinese-speaking staff in Beijing is able to obtain first-class translations at the best prices.

“On behalf of my colleagues at Translatus in China, we look forward to helping our clients successfully carry across their message into any language, market or culture." Christine Kee, Executive Vice President, Asia Division.

To Speak Local - The Way to Success

by Christine Kee
Sales Director

"How does Translatus offer lower prices for Asian languages like Chinese, while other companies in Europe offer a much higher price?"

This is a question that Translatus' Sales team members are frequently asked by their clients. The key to this question is very simple: where and who are we buying from? Translatus buys translations locally in the target countries where your documents are going to be used. We buy Chinese translations (to and from various European languages) in China, where a population of about 90,000 qualified translators and interpreters serve the industry. You benefit from the advantage of this strong and vibrant labor force. However, among these translators and interpreters, you find different levels of quality and a high chance of miscommunication. You may even find that you can be charged more because you do not “speak the language". Translatus is able to select the best of these 90,000 translators and interpreters thanks to the effective communication by our native Chinese speaking staff within Translatus. By knowing the local market, we are able to get first-class translations at the best price. Translatus believes that speaking the right language is the key to our clients' success. No matter how far away you want to sell your products or services, with Translatus, you can deliver your words and ideas in the most native way!
