Chinese is becoming an increasingly important language and is spoken by billions of people in East Asia. After the US, China has the largest number of internet users. If you are looking to expand your business into the Chinese market, having your company brochures or your website translated into Chinese is an absolute must.
With well over 200 dialects spoken throughout China and East Asian regions, it is important to get translation precise. A professional translation company will seek to understand your business and your customers and understand what makes your business “tick”. At Translationz, when we translate materials for our clients, we do our research.

How Translationz is helping clients from the other side of the world?
The world is becoming increasingly global—we can easily bridge long distances through technology. The internet allows us to connect quickly and efficiently via email, social media, and programs such as Skype. As the world becomes a global community, translations services are becoming increasingly in demand. Last week we were contacted through one of the mediums on two different occasions by potential European clients in need of translation services.

It was a gargantuan day for a little country yesterday! Croatia, a country of roughly 4.4 million people, became a member of the European Union. On 1st July,2013, Croatia opened the doors for its people to have all the benefits and access to all information that the European Union provides.
For many Croatian people, Croatian’s acceptance to European Union will be life-changing. Croatia and its people can now expect free movement of its labour force, goods, services and capital across country lines—likely resulting in an economic boost for the country. Croatia will now utilise the Euro and citizens of other European nations will not need passports to visit Croatia—which will assist in improving tourism.

If you get a bad tattoo, you might be able to hide it well, and perhaps only your friends and family will know. However, when a celebrity gets a bad tattoo, one that is misspelled or poorly translated (if in a language other than English), the whole world hears about it. Often the celebrity is portrayed as unintelligent and, lacking basic spelling skills. Get your tatto translation right and have a human translator review it.
Here are nine examples of celebrity tattoos that were misspelled, translated incorrectly or the intended meaning was not conveyed properly. These tattoos have now become famous in their own right.

What do you think is the best job in the world? Could it be an Island Caretaker, Park Ranger, Wine Taste master, or Celebrity Wardrobe Consultant? I believe the best job in the world is none of these—I believe it is being an interpreter.
An interpreter’s job is exciting and diverse. One day an interpreter can be on an assignment in a courtroom and the next day in a hospital, while on another day they can find themselves hob-nobbing with high-level government officials.
Last week, Translationz had great pleasure to be on top of Adelaide Hills in South Australia, overlooking natural beauty in the picturesque Piccadilly Valley, and basking in the unrivalled panoramic views of the city Adelaide. We were part of a two-day conference hosted by a manufacturer of high-quality, luxury natural skincare products.
