Recently while proofreading some projects related to the traditional Chinese, and finding several errors in the traditional Chinese translation, so would like to point out several points here, for us reference.

For punctuation mark – full stop

The full stop was displayed different in the simplified Chinese from that in the traditional Chinese, so we need to type it in the correct shape in the traditional Chinese translation, see the below examples.

For some terminology with the fixed translation in the traditional Chinese

In the traditional Chinese translation, some terminology has different fixed translation from the simplifed Chinese translation, thus, we should pay attention to them, see the following examples, for ‘在’ and ‘他们’. As for the word ‘在’ in the simplified Chinese, it is usually translated as ‘於’ in the traditional Chinese, for the word ‘他们’ in the simplified Chinese, it is translated as ’彼等’ in HongKong traditional Chinese.

Be better to apply the same style for the same sentence pattern

please see the below examples, as we can see, two source sentences have the same sentence structure, however, both have the different translations in the target language, in my opinion, it would be better to apply the same translation for the same sentence structure in the same project.

{0>To adjust the volume before playback, press the <:cs “Buttons01” 7>d<:/cs> button and tap <:cs “Menus02” 3>i<:/cs>.<}100{>

To keep the terminology consistency in the same project

Since some projects have the tight deadline, so sometimes need several translators to complete together and reach the final delivery time, and at this time, we need to ensure the same terminology has the same translation in the target language for the same project, so the different translators need to refer to the latest translation memory from time to time for the translation of the same terminology, see the following examples, in order to keep consistency, in the project, generally adopted the second translation.
