    My company is getting quotes on having this done for their brochures, powerpoints, applications, etc.

    I figured this board should know the best place to go/what pricing should be/time it takes/etc.

    Anyone on here do this or know good places to go?

    My dad actually is a freelance translator with over twenty years of experience with both English-to-Chinese and Chinese-to-English and Traditional/Simplied Chinese. If you want I can give you his email, I'm not exactly sure how much he charges but he's got clients based in both North America and Asia.

    I know this is a joke, but I don't get it.

    I got it. We're seeing what the quote will be from the company we've gone through in the past.

    Alright that's cool. I just emailed him to give him a heads-up. It's kind of hard for me to get in touch with him these days as I'm in England but let me know how it goes.

    Just remember, you'll have to **** up your english in order to properly translate it into chinese.

    Ex: replace all instances of "No" with "Do Not Want" :)

    definitely dont use a web site, I've taken Chinese in school for about 3 years and translations sites don't work well for Chinese
