Hi there,

This is Lily from China, a Professional English-Chinese Translator and College Professor with strengths in Marketing (esp. Internet Marketing), Education, Law, IT & Telecommunications.
Are all the translators whose mother tongue is Chinese able to revitalize the language power during translating your language into Chinese? No. Chinese is one of the most intricate languages in the world. Not all the Chinese native speakers are the real masters of this language whose charm lies in its glorious history, crafted sentence structures and its profound culture. You need someone who is more than a translator and who:
1. has acquired proficiency of both English and Chinese language;
2. has advanced (rather than basic) Chinese language study and is crafted in Chinese writing;
3. has profound understanding of Chinese language, Chinese culture and Chinese market
4. has a good command of business and marketing knowledge and sharp insights to market;
5. is experienced and professional in English-Chinese translation and adaption;
6. is a computer savvy and is able to do everything you assigned just right;
7. is keen on the changes of the world.
If you need such a translator, come to me and find how I am the right person you are looking for:
- My B.A. in Business and Trade English, M.A. in English Language and Literature and 13 years of teaching experience for college English majors are strong evidence of my mastery of English language;
- My intrinsic interest in Chinese literature, my enormous Chinese reading list and never-ceasing Chinese literary works creation experience render me deeper understanding of Chinese language and better writing techniques than average Chinese;
- 8 years of translation experience (+10 million words translation for such major clients as State Information Center of China, G&D, FedEx, Dow, Kotler, Alston, Opel, D&B, Subex, ZTE, Huawei, Textappeal) and 1 year of hands-on experience in online marketing, copywriting and foreign trade make me a skillful and professional craftsman in revitalizing language power and adding real value to language in translation, adaption and copywriting;
- Business, law and literature education background renders me a unique insight into the immensity of human civilization and the delicacy of cultural difference, and, in particular, the Chinese market.
- My sound IT skills and mastery of graphic applications guarantees that you get the right kind of electronic files you need.
- My unwearied truth-seeking work attitude always engages me in an earnest search of a better rendering of translation, whatever it takes.

Look forward to working with you!

Sincerely,

Lily Xiao
