Translate Simplified Chinese Blog/Website to English

Simplified Chinese is the written text (of Chinese) that is used in mainland China and among people of Chinese origin in Singapore nowadays. This written form mainly evolved and was adopted after the end of civil war and the establishment of today's P.R. China in 1949, so you may also call it as a relatively “modern form” of Chinese text. The reason and purpose for the Chinese government to develop this simplified writing system is believed to be “simplifying the writing method, easing the effort in writing, and encouraging more people to become literate.”

All these translators, especially this one from Google, seem so promising but I'll be curious to see how well it translates from someone who is bilingual.

These transalators were looking very promising but one has to check how well they were transalating.. I use to check some vietnamese blogs where the translator is translating the blog content but it fails in sentence formation..

Like your English language website you must format the document using all standard SEO practices. Include a page title, keywords and emphasize your keywords in bold or italics, and include keywords in your headings.

Do these translations with the Google translation tool. You should find that making a page in Chinese not much more difficult than an English language page.

This is brilliant, finally one that works. However, I recently tweaked some CSS codes and now the gadget is not responsive. If I move the gadget to the container id=main it will work. It worked before, do you have any idea why it is not working at the moment? pls visit my blog //when2meets2test1. and have a look.

Thanks.

People should be aware of the fact that automated translation might be a useful tool, but when you require an accurate and precise Chinese translation, you should not rely on this kind of software!
