"Chinese" refers to a broad language family. "Mandarin" is the most widely spoken Chinese dialect. "Simplified Chinese" is a modern script with fewer strokes used mainly in Mainland China. Knowing these differences helps with accurate translation and communication.
Chinese translators work with written texts, ensuring accurate translations of documents. Interpreters handle spoken language in real time, such as during meetings or court sessions. Both require high fluency, but the skills, tools, and settings they work in are very different.
I began my translation journey at Shanghai International Studies University, then pursued a Master's at the University of Western Sydney. There, I passed NAATI exams in English→Chinese, Chinese→English, and interpreting. Now NAATI-certified, I provide professional, reliable translation and interpreting services across Australia.
Many Chinese documents need NAATI-certified translation in Australia for visas, education, legal, and financial use. Common ones include ID cards, hukou, degrees, transcripts, bank statements, and legal papers. These are often required by Home Affairs, courts, universities, and banks. Lingofish provides fast, accurate, and confidential NAATI-certified Chinese-English translations.
NAATI is Australia’s official body for certifying translators. Many institutions—like the Department of Home Affairs, courts, and universities—require translations to be done by NAATI-certified professionals.
Common documents include ID cards, birth certificates, diplomas, and marriage certificates. As a NAATI-certified English–Chinese translator, I offer fast, accurate, and professional service—all online.
