Do you need Simplified Chinese or Traditional Chinese?

Are you trying to reach online markets in Mainland China?  If yes, then you should consider simplified Chinese!

 Are you more interested in reaching Taiwan, Hong Kong, or the huge Chinese immigrant communities around the world? If this is the case, you will need to promote your website on Traditional Chinese search engines!

When it comes to the written form of Chinese, we are not speaking about Cantonese vs. Mandarin but rather Simplified Chinese vs. Traditional Chinese.

About 50 years ago, in an effort to promote literacy, the new government of the People's Republic of China (PRC) made the decision to simplify the written Chinese language to make it easier for the general populace to learn how to read and write... Basically, a new alphabet/language was “invented”: Simplified Chinese.

As a result, in today’s Internet context, simplified Chinese search engines are targeted to mainland China (& Singapore) while traditional Chinese is used in Taiwan, Hong Kong, Malaysia and by the vast majority of Chinese expatriates in the US, Canada, Europe etc...

Doing business on the Chinese web is not about interacting with Chinese-speaking natives in their language but rather bringing them to your website to do business with you in English!

Contract our Chinese experts to create an entry page in Chinese for your website optimized with your Chinese keywords/meta tags. It will have a similar look and feel as your current home page. It will be considered as your "Chinese entry page". Such page will feature approximately a 10 to 15 line paragraph in Chinese introducing your web site. At the end of your "Chinese entry page" we will tell Chinese users that by entering your website they should expect overall content in English and that all correspondences should be established in English as well. Our flash tutorial/demo explains clearly the benefits of such methodology!
