Google translate english to chinese traditional characters

Google has once again come through with an extremely useful tool for anyone needing to use or study Chinese, Japanese, or other languages that don’t use a romanised alphabet. The latest update to Google Translate includes a very useful option to show or hide romanisation, which will be great news for people like me who can’t read characters but use a character-based language.

For Chinese, Google Translate provides a result in pinyin, the standardised romanisation system for Mandarin Chinese, which helps with both pronunciation and reading. Previously, I could look up the translation for an English sentence, but only receive the result in simplified Chinese characters. This is fine for writing, of course, but when it came to saying the sentence out loud, I was at a loss.

Now, it is easy to see how the words are pronounced, and as you can show or hide the pinyin, it’s quite a good way to test your knowledge of the characters.

Note: As with any machine translation, this service may not provide completely correct translations, but it’s a good place to start for basic queries or to get the overall idea of a piece of writing.

About our English to Traditional-chinese translation tool

Years ago, it was quite difficult and time consuming to translate text from one language to another. Any translation performed would involved using simple vocabularies with word-for-word translation. This was very inefficient and inaccurate, as any translated text would lose the actual meaning of the sentence.

For those whose mother tongue is not Traditional-chinese, translating English to Traditional-chinese can be difficult. There are many agencies and websites that provide services for translation, localisation or interpreting. But these services are expensive and could range from a few dollars to hundreds of dollars. You can expect to pay from $0.08 to $0.40 per word! 

While it is a good idea to pay professionals for translating highly specialized subjects and official documents - there is no need to pay for translating commonly spoken words, sentences, and phrases. For this, you can use our online English to Traditional-chinese translation software

Our translation software is FREE. It makes use of the powerful Google translation API which uses Google’s pre-trained neural machine translation to instantly translate words and phrases between English to Traditional-chinese. You can translate up to a maximum of 500 characters per request and can make an unlimited request. 

Although our Traditional-chinese translation is not 100% accurate - with a few modifications it can be pretty accurate. It is particularly helpful in framing the sentence and to get a general idea on what the sentence is conveying the message. It is therefore used by thousands of people around the globe.
