About our translator


Chinese is one of the most spoken language in the World. It is spoken by over 1.35 billion people worldwide both as first and second language.

Traditional Chinese is a way of writing that have more complex stroke and characters than Simplified Chinese. This way of writing is used in Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan and Malaysia.

For those whose first language is not Chinese Traditional, typing and translating English to Chinese Traditional can be difficult. There are many websites and agencies that provide online and offline translation and interpreting services. Those services can either be expensive or if it is free the quality of translation is often poor and unreliable.

While it makes sense for paying professionals to translate highly specialized subjects and official documents - there is no need to pay for translating commonly spoken words and phrases. For this our online software can be used.

This is because it uses a powerful Google translation API to instantly translate sentences between English to Chinese Traditional. You can use our tool to translate up to 500 characters per request. But the good news is you can make unlimited requests.

While the translation result is not always 100% accurate - with a few modifications it can be pretty accurate. We have also integrated a Google Input tool which can be used to easily edit or modify the translated Chinese Traditional text. Besides, this software is evolving and improving every day and shortly we hope it can produce near to perfect translation.

We have also integrated functionality with which you can download or copy the translated text and either share them on social media or use on Word Processing software (such as Microsoft Word) for further formatting.

If you have any other suggestions on how to improve English to Chinese Traditional, please let us know on our Facebook page.
