Which Chinese do you need for your translation?

There are a variety of terms referring to the Chinese language. In its written form, the biggest difference perhaps lies between the so-called 'Simplified Chinese' and 'Traditional Chinese'. Simplified Chinese is used by 1.3 billion people in China. The term 'simplification' refers to the reduction of the number of strokes of a character only: the structure or the grammar of the language cannot be and has not been simplified. In other words, Simplified characters have fewer stokes than Traditional characters. The process of simplification of Chinese characters started in the People's Republic of China (Mainland China) in the early 1950s in a drive to eliminate illiteracy. Traditional Chinese (using traditional characters with no simplification) is the written form of Chinese used in Taiwan, Hong Kong and some other overseas Chinese communities including the UK.

Both Simplified and Traditional are standard Chinese in terms of grammar and structure, but there are some distinct regional variations in terms of vocabulary Their computer font encoding systems are also quite different. Spoken Chinese, on the other hand, often distinguishes between Mandarin and Cantonese, which are mutually unintelligible.

Mandarin is the official spoken form of Chinese used in the whole of the People's Republic of China and in Taiwan. For language practitioners, Mandarin is only relevant in an interpreting setting as it describes the language in its spoken form.

Cantonese is the official spoken Chinese used in Hong Kong and in some other overseas Chinese communities including the UK. The term Cantonese is only relevant when it comes to interpreting work involving audiences from Hong Kong or ethnic Chinese residents in the UK. This is because early migrants to Western Europe were mainly from Hong Kong and Southern China's coastal region of Canton (Guangdong Province).

Background information:

Chinese or the Sinitic language(s) ( Pinyin: Hàny u ; Huáy u ; Zhongwén) can be considered a language or language family. Originally the indigenous languages spoken by the Han Chinese in China, it forms one of the two branches of Sino-Tibetan family of languages. About one-fifth of the world's population, or over 1 billion people, speak some form of Chinese as their native language. The identification of the varieties of Chinese as "languages" or "dialects" is controversial. According to news reports in March 2007, 86% of people in the People's Republic of China speak a variant of spoken Chinese. As a language family, the number of Chinese speakers is 1.136 billion. The same news report indicate 53% of the population, or 700 million speakers, can effectively communicate in Putonghua (commonly called "Mandarin"), outnumbering any other language in the world.
