Transn (Beijing) Information Technology

Date: December 2008

Client: Transn (Beijing) Information Technology

Job: Article Translation (Translation Test)

Why I Wrote What I Wrote:

Was recommended to this company by my translation course coordinator. I was given three choices of text to translate, two of which from Mandarin to English and the other English to Mandarin. I figured I need to know the original text well to translate it properly, so I chose the latter. Parts of the structure in the original English copy were a little awkward but I was requested to excuse that and do my best to translate. Here's an excerpt:
