English to Chinese Translator
Translate English to Simplified or Traditional Chinese, with a glossary for product and brand names so they are rendered the same way every time.
Machine translation can be wrong, especially for legal, medical and official documents. Use it to draft and understand; have a qualified translator review anything with real consequences.
What to watch between English and Chinese
Simplified or Traditional
Mainland China and Singapore use Simplified characters; Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macau use Traditional. Choose "Chinese (Simplified)" or "Chinese (Traditional)" as the target; the language list has both.
Names and brands
Foreign names can be transliterated in several ways. If your company or product already has an official Chinese name, add it to the glossary so the translation never invents a new one.
No plurals or tenses
Chinese marks time with words such as 已经 (already) or 将 (will) rather than verb endings. Short English fragments without context can lose tense, so translate full sentences where you can.
Formal or casual?
English Could you send me the report by Friday?
您能在周五之前把报告发给我吗？

English to Chinese: questions
Does it output pinyin?
No. The translator returns Chinese characters only, which is what most readers need. Pinyin is useful for learners but would clutter the bilingual view.
Which Chinese is the default?
This page defaults to Simplified Chinese. Switch the target to Chinese (Traditional) for readers in Taiwan or Hong Kong.
Is it accurate enough for business documents?
It is good for drafts, emails and understanding. For contracts, packaging claims, legal or medical material, have a native professional review the result, because machine translation can be confidently wrong.
