Introduction of Chinese Translators

We are able to introduce reliable Chinese translators (Japanese - Chinese, Chinese - Japanese).
Lately many low-quality items can be found in Chinese translation. This is because among the translation companies there are some where coordinators cannot speak Chinese, or those that do not use translation checkers. Furthermore it is said that many companies subcontract orders to cheap translators who live abroad who do not understand Japanese well.
I believe that you order translation work from companies where there is an exclusive Chinese coordinator for Chinese translation, while the work is performed by native speakers in both Japanese and Chinese working together. Please inquire for further details.
