- Mainland China's official language — increasingly relevant for Egyptian and Gulf trade, manufacturing imports, and infrastructure partnerships
Chinese translation demand has grown steadily with the expansion of Egyptian and Gulf trade and infrastructure ties with China. Most requests are commercial and technical rather than personal: product specifications, trade contracts, customs documentation, and technical manuals for Chinese-manufactured machinery and electronics. Simplified Chinese characters are used for Mainland China (the overwhelming majority of our Chinese-translation work), while Traditional characters remain relevant for Hong Kong and Taiwan-based business. Because written Chinese does not map one-to-one onto Arabic sentence structure, literal translation often produces unusable text for contracts — subject-matter-expert human translation rather than machine translation is standard practice for anything with legal or financial weight.
Certification note
Chinese commercial contracts for Egyptian customs clearance typically need certified translation with a company stamp, not just a translator's signature — confirm the exact requirement with the receiving customs office.
