Chinese to English PDF Translation FAQ

Everything you need to know about translating Chinese PDFs to English, from business documents to academic papers and technical manuals.

Absolutely! Our AI understands Chinese document formatting, including Chinese date formats, decimal notation, and currency formatting (RMB/CNY). We preserve all original formatting while accurately translating Chinese text to professional English.

Our AI is specifically trained on Chinese business terminology, including terms like '有限公司' (limited company), '销售条款' (terms of sale), and other Chinese corporate language. We translate these into equivalent English business terms that maintain professional tone and legal accuracy.

Yes! Our translation system processes both Simplified Chinese (简体字) and Traditional Chinese (繁體字) characters. We understand the differences between variants and convert Chinese text to English while maintaining the original document's character set and meaning.

Our AI understands Chinese cultural context and translates idioms meaningfully rather than literally. For example, '画蛇添足' becomes 'gilding the lily' rather than 'drawing legs on a snake', preserving the intended meaning for English speakers.

Yes, we handle Chinese legal documents including contracts, certificates, and government papers. Our AI understands Chinese legal terminology and translates it into proper English legal language. For official legal proceedings, consider having the translation reviewed by a certified translator.

Our AI is trained on Chinese technical and academic terminology. We can translate engineering documents, research papers, medical reports, and scientific content from Chinese to English while maintaining accuracy in specialized vocabulary and academic writing conventions.

Most Chinese PDFs are translated to English within 2-5 minutes, regardless of length. A typical Chinese business document or academic paper is ready in under a minute, while larger documents like technical manuals may take a few minutes longer.

Yes! Chinese has unique grammatical features like lack of verb tenses, measure words, and flexible word order. Our AI understands these Chinese grammatical structures and produces natural English that flows properly, avoiding the awkward phrasing that comes from literal translation.

Absolutely! Modern Chinese commonly uses English loan words, especially in business and technology. Our AI recognizes when to translate Chinese text and when to preserve English terms that are commonly used in Chinese contexts, ensuring your document maintains its intended meaning.

Chinese uses compound words like '企业家精神' (entrepreneurship) and complex character combinations. Our AI breaks down these compounds, understands their component meanings, and translates them into clear, natural English phrases that convey the full meaning effectively.

TESTIMONIALS

I just tried out a sample, and the recording came back almost instantly, letter perfect. I plan to write some articles and will be subscribing to the service. The transcription comes in as text; I pasted it into a word file and can easily edit it. I'm looking forward to a long relationship with Cockatoo!

Cockatoo has made my life as a documentary video producer much easier because I no longer have to transcribe interviews by hand. Thanks!

The transcription was very good indeed! As I am disabled, there is often a big pause in speaking my thoughts. Cockatoo coped with those very well.

I used to do transcriptions the old way many years ago. It was quite time consuming. Later I used real time transcribing with my recordings, which was helpful. This newer AI tool is way more accurate than transcribing software I used before, did quite well with different accents in Turkish, and did the job quite fast, highly recommended.
