English Simplified Chinese
Your text is never stored. Core features free forever.
Translate English into Simplified Chinese with the free AdeptWrite AI translator, already set to this pair. Chinese has no verb tenses or plural endings, needs measure words between numbers and nouns, and places time words before the verb. Output is Mandarin in Simplified characters, with full-width punctuation. Paste your text, choose a tone and check names, figures and specialist terms before you send or publish the result.
Tips for this language pair
- Remember that the output is Simplified Chinese, used in mainland China and Singapore. Readers in Taiwan and Hong Kong normally use Traditional characters, which need a separate translation.
- Use measure words: 两个哥哥 for two older brothers, 三本书 for three books, 一位老师 for one teacher.
- Put time before the verb and use aspect words, not tenses: 我去年去过北京 means "I went to Beijing last year" with the experience marker 过.
- Choose 您 for respectful address and 你 for friends, and use full-width punctuation such as ，。？ in Chinese text.
- Keep names and brands consistent. Put the original Latin spelling in brackets the first time a foreign name or product appears, then use the Chinese form.
