Pro Tips

  • DeepL produces more natural Chinese translations than Google Translate — locals understand it better
  • Download offline language packs BEFORE entering China — Google Play is blocked in China
  • Camera translation works best with printed text — handwritten Chinese may not be recognized well
  • Save your hotel address translated into Chinese as a favorite — show it to taxi drivers
  • Pre-translate key phrases: "I'm allergic to...", "Where is the bathroom?", "How much does this cost?"
  • The free version has a character limit — for longer translations, consider DeepL Pro subscription
  • Use DeepL alongside Baidu Translate — sometimes one gives better results for specific Chinese phrases
