Best Practices for Translating Products to Chinese (Traditional)
Localizing Products for Chinese (Traditional)-Speaking Customers
Translation is just the start. Adapt your content to local expectations for maximum impact.
Visual Preferences
- Utilize high-quality, bright, and clear photography. A blend of professional product shots and authentic lifestyle imagery showcasing products in natural, real-life settings resonates well with consumers.
- Feature models of East Asian ethnicity with natural, approachable looks. While diversity is appreciated, ensure models reflect local aesthetic preferences, often favoring slender body types for fashion. Group photos or family settings interacting with products are effective.
- Adopt a clean, organized design aesthetic, but allow for a moderate level of information density on product pages. Taiwanese users are accustomed to content-rich interfaces. Use vibrant, appealing color palettes and ensure clear calls to action.
- Direct eye contact in imagery is generally acceptable and can convey sincerity. Images of people should appear professional yet friendly. Avoid overly dramatic or highly stylized visuals for mainstream products.
- Be mindful of cultural symbols. Avoid generic 'Chinese' stereotypes (e.g., excessive dragons or red lanterns outside of festive contexts). Incorporate subtle local elements like specific Taiwanese landmarks or commonly appreciated flowers (e.g., orchids) if relevant to your brand.
Units and Measurements
- The metric system (公制) is standard for all measurements. Always provide units in centimeters (公分, cm), meters (公尺, m), kilograms (公斤, kg), and grams (公克, g).
- For clothing, primarily use EU sizing (e.g., S, M, L, XL or numerical sizes like 36, 38, 40). However, it is crucial to provide a detailed size chart with actual garment measurements in centimeters (e.g., bust, waist, hip, length), as Asian sizing can differ significantly from Western EU equivalents.
- For shoe sizes, EU sizing is most common. It is highly recommended to also include equivalent US sizes and Japanese (cm) measurements, along with a comprehensive size chart that includes foot length in centimeters or millimeters.
- Product weights should be indicated in kilograms (公斤, kg) for larger items and grams (公克, g) for smaller items. For example, a bag of rice would be '5公斤' (5 kg), while a snack might be '150公克' (150 g).
- Dimensions for products are typically expressed in centimeters (公分, cm) in the order of Length x Width x Height (長 x 寬 x 高). For example, '尺寸: 長20公分 x 寬15公分 x 高10公分'.
Number and Date Formatting
- The standard date format is YYYY/MM/DD (e.g., 2024/07/23). Sometimes YYYY.MM.DD is used. While the Republic of China (ROC) calendar (民國年) is used in official contexts, the Gregorian calendar is standard for e-commerce.
- The decimal separator is a period/dot (`.`) (e.g., 123.45).
- The thousand separator is a comma (`,`) (e.g., 1,234,567).
- The currency is the New Taiwan Dollar (NTD or TWD). The symbol `NT$` is typically placed before the number with a space (e.g., NT$ 1,234.50). Alternatively, the Chinese character 元 (yuan) can follow the number (e.g., 1,234.50 元).
- The 24-hour time format (e.g., 14:30) is common in digital and formal settings. The 12-hour format with 上午 (AM) / 下午 (PM) (e.g., 下午 2:30) is also used in daily conversation. The week typically starts on Monday.
Color Meanings
- Red (紅色) is highly effective for sales, discounts, and promotions, symbolizing good fortune, excitement, and prosperity. Orange (橘色) and yellow (黃色) are also used to attract attention to deals.
- Blue (藍色) is widely associated with trust, stability, professionalism, and reliability, making it an excellent choice for financial services or brands aiming to build confidence. Green (綠色) can signify health, nature, and growth.
- Gold (金色), silver (銀色), and black (黑色) are classic colors for indicating premium quality, luxury, and sophistication. Deep purples (紫色) can also convey elegance and exclusivity.
- White (白色) is traditionally associated with mourning and funerals, so use it cautiously as a dominant brand color for celebratory products, though it's perfectly fine for backgrounds or to convey cleanliness and purity. Avoid using green for men's headwear, as '戴綠帽' (dài lǜ mào) culturally implies a man's wife is unfaithful.
- Red is generally considered the most auspicious color, representing luck, happiness, and celebration. It's ideal for festive occasions, gift-giving contexts, and promotional campaigns. Yellow/Gold also symbolizes wealth and royalty.
