About the Chinese language (Mandarin)
Chinese is one of the most widely spoken languages in the world, with over 1.1 billion native speakers of Mandarin Chinese. As the official language of China, Taiwan and one of four official languages in Singapore, Mandarin is central to global communication, trade and culture.
Mandarin Chinese is written using Chinese characters (Hanzi), which can appear in two main forms: Simplified Chinese, used primarily in mainland China and Singapore, and Traditional Chinese, used in Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macau. Choosing the correct script for your audience is vital to ensure clarity and cultural alignment, with desktop publishing also being a vital step in Chinese localisation projects.
As a tonal language with four main tones, Mandarin presents challenges for non-native speakers, and mistranslation can easily alter meaning. Wolfestone’s native linguists ensure your content is accurate and culturally resonant.
The importance of China for global business
China is the second-largest economy in the world, a global manufacturing hub, and one of the leading players in international trade.

Accurate Mandarin translation, interpreting and localisation are essential for building trust, meeting regulatory requirements, and effectively engaging with audiences across China and Chinese-speaking regions.
