Mandarin Chinese: the linguistic decisions that change the result
“Chinese” should not be treated as a single locale. Simplified Chinese is used primarily in Mainland China and Singapore, while Traditional Chinese is used in markets including Taiwan and Hong Kong, with vocabulary differences beyond the script itself.
Chinese often expresses information more compactly than European languages, but software, marketing and technical texts still require attention to segmentation, punctuation, placeholders, product names and the handling of untranslated Latin strings.
For Hong Kong work, Cantonese-influenced usage and Traditional Chinese conventions may be relevant; Taiwan has its own terminology and stylistic expectations. The target market therefore needs to be explicit.
- Simplified versus Traditional script chosen by market
- Mainland China, Taiwan and Hong Kong terminology distinguished
- UI strings, placeholders and Latin product names checked in context
- Punctuation and segmentation reviewed natively
