About one-fifth of the world`s population, or over one billion people, speaks some variety of Chinese as their native language.

Simplified Chinese vs. Traditional Chinese

When you are using online Chinese to English translators (see below), you often have to choose between simplified Chinese and traditional Chinese. But what is the difference? Simplified Chinese Characters are standardized Chinese characters for use in Mainland China. Traditional Chinese is currently used in Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macau. Overseas Chinese communities generally use traditional characters, but simplified characters are often used among mainland Chinese immigrants.
