Chinese to Spanish Translator
Free Chinese to Spanish translation, plus the Spanish grammar that trips up English speakers.
What changes when you translate Chinese to Spanish
Translating Chinese into Spanish changes more than the words. Spanish nouns and adjectives carry grammatical gender, subject pronouns are usually dropped, and the informal tú contrasts with the formal usted. Spanish drops subject pronouns and marks gender on nouns and adjectives, so a good translation picks the right gender agreement and the right level of formality (tú vs. usted) from context. A word-for-word tool gets the vocabulary right and these things wrong, which is why the translator above reads the whole sentence before it writes anything.
