I will localize your app, game and marketing copy into native chinese
About this Gig
Machine translation makes your product readable in Chinese. It does not make Chinese users trust it, tap it, or buy it.
I am a native Chinese localization specialist based in China (Mandarin and Cantonese, fluent English), with a senior background in Chinese social media and content. I never translate word for word - I adapt your content so it reads as if it was written in Chinese first.
WHAT YOU GET
- App and game localization: UI strings, store listings, in-game text, placeholders and tags kept intact
- Marketing transcreation: slogans, landing pages, ads and social posts rewritten to persuade, not just inform
- Website and product copy localization for mainland China and overseas Chinese markets
- Subtitle localization (EN to ZH) with natural, well-timed lines
- Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, or both
Every order includes a terminology and tone pass plus my own LQA review - consistency checked, nothing ships raw.
I do not take legal contracts, medical texts, or certified documents.

FAQ
How is localization different from translation?
Translation converts words. Localization adapts meaning, tone, idioms and even text length for the target culture, so buttons fit, jokes land, and slogans persuade. A literal slogan sounds translated; a transcreated one sounds like it was written for Chinese users first - because it was.
Which Chinese variants do you offer?
Simplified Chinese for mainland China, Traditional Chinese for Hong Kong and Taiwan, or both. For subtitles I can also write in natural Cantonese-flavored wording on request - very few sellers offer that.
Which file formats can I send?
Word, Excel or CSV string tables, JSON, SRT subtitle files, or plain text. Placeholders, variables, and HTML tags are preserved exactly and checked before delivery.
Can you match our existing brand voice?
Yes. Send any existing Chinese copy, a glossary, or examples you like. Standard and Premium packages include building a glossary for your product, which you keep for future orders.
How do you count the words?
By English source words, using a standard Word or CAT-tool count. Punctuation is never counted separately, placeholders and code tags are not charged, and each number counts as one word. If you are not sure, send me the file and I will count it and confirm the package before you order.
What content do you not accept?
Legal contracts, medical texts, and certified or official document translations - those need a certified translator. I specialize in product, app, game, marketing, and content localization.
