1. Chinese SEO

When referring to "optimisation" we are referring to writing the "source code/meta tags" of a website. The source code of a web page is placed in the "background" of your site. It is mandatory to optimise a website in order to submit it to foreign search engines, such as Baidu in China. The Chinese optimised web page includes a title, a description, keywords and various technical codes in Chinese language.

5. What is professional translation? And what is the difference from machine translation?

To be short, you cannot afford to use machine for English-Chinese translation programs, if you are serious about your business. If you do, you will not only confuse your readers with unusual sentence structures but also risk offending your readers with words that is not cultural friendly. As professional translators, we will interpret meanings in context and polish the expressions to reflect the nature of the content.

6. Can you transfer my domain name to a new hosting?

Yes, simply provide the login for your domain name registration, and transfer can be completed to a new hosting within 48 hours.

7. Am I tied into Red Prime for site maintenance or updates I wish to do once my website is designed?

No, once your website is designed it belongs to you and you can commission anyone to update it for you - although of course we would like to think that you are happy with our services and will continue to use us for your website maintenance.

8. Which version of Chinese language do you use?

We can do both Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese; however we use simplified Chinese by default if you do not advice otherwise. Simplified Chinese is used in mainland China and Singapore and Traditional Chinese are more popular in Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan. The difference only exists in the way of how a character is written not how it pronounced. Majority of Chinese can read both.

9. For a multilingual website, do I have multiple websites or just one?

Technically, you will have only one website with one database containing all languages. The advantage is that you reduce ongoing cost for maintenance and better search engine ranking.
