Why is Chinese Translation So Difficult?

For all of its mystery and beauty, Chinese is an incredibly complex language. It’s almost impossible to master without an intimate knowledge of the spoken and written form, as well as all of its variants. There are over 3,000 characters in Chinese, and most of them are not consistent, meaning that their interpretations depend largely on the literary context in which they reside.

Cognates? What Cognates?

Furthermore, there are no cognates, or words that sound like English, in Chinese, so you can’t rely on them to help you. Chinese doesn’t have an alphabet, and even if you try looking in a Chinese dictionary, the dictionary is so ambiguous it’s hard for life-long natives of China to navigate, let alone non-native speakers or learners.
