Translate English into Simplified Chinese (中文) the way a Mandarin speaker would actually say it - formal where it matters, warm where it counts. Frontier AI, full Hanzi support, free for everyday use.
Mandarin Chinese is the most-spoken native language on Earth, with around 1.1 billion speakers across Mainland China, Singapore and the global Chinese diaspora. Pairing it with English unlocks everything from Alibaba supplier chats and US university transcripts to WeChat messages with grandparents and Lunar New Year greetings. translator.im handles all of it - Simplified Hanzi, pinyin, formal and casual register - with one quietly excellent answer.
Quick reference for travelling, greetings, shopping and conversation. Tap any row to copy it into the translator above.
Built on frontier translation models tuned for Mandarin. No clunky character-by-character output - just Chinese that reads naturally to a native ear.
Modern AI models that understand idioms (成语), register and paragraph-level context - not just isolated sentences.
Every 汉字 renders cleanly, including modern punctuation (，。、！？「」). Output is ready to paste into WeChat, Word, Feishu, Notion or InDesign.
Switch to Voice mode and just talk - your browser's speech recognition (Chrome, Edge or Safari) types your English for you. Tap Listen to hear the Chinese read aloud if your device has a Chinese voice. Handy at a noodle stall or a 高铁 ticket window.
Upload, drop or paste a photo or screenshot of English menus, signs, slides or forms. The text is recognised in your browser, you can tweak it, and the Chinese translation comes back as editable text.
Paste up to 5,000 characters of English at a time - articles, product copy or emails - and get Chinese back with your paragraph breaks in place.
Open the page and start translating - no account, no download, no credit card. You get 10 free translations a day, and our privacy policy explains how requests are handled.
Whether you are sourcing on Alibaba, applying to a US university, messaging family for 春节, or planning a trip to Shanghai - translator.im fits the moment.
Negotiate with Alibaba and Taobao suppliers, write 1688 product specs, and handle quotation emails in clean, professional Chinese.
Send heartfelt WeChat messages, Lunar New Year wishes and Mid-Autumn 祝福 to grandparents in fluent, natural Chinese.
Translate transcripts, recommendation letters and personal statements between English and Chinese for US, UK and Australian university applications.
Order food, ask for directions in Beijing, Shanghai, Chengdu or Xi'an, and understand 高铁 signs without freezing up. Image mode reads a photographed menu, and Voice mode lets you speak English and play the Chinese aloud.
Three small habits that make AI translation feel hand-written by a native speaker.
Mainland China and Singapore use Simplified (简体), while Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macau use Traditional (繁體). translator.im defaults to Simplified - add 'translate to Traditional Chinese' if you need 繁體 for a Taiwan or HK audience.
Business emails, customer service and messages to elders should use the polite 您 register. Add 'formal' or 'business Chinese' to your request - or 'casual' for chats with friends - so the model picks the right pronoun and tone.
Need tone marks (Nǐ hǎo, not Ni hao) to read aloud or teach? Add 'include pinyin with tone marks below each line' and you will get aligned Hanzi + pinyin output.
No account, no install, no waiting. Drop your English in and read it back in Chinese in seconds.
