With 7.5 million residents in a 1,114-square-kilometre (430 sq mi) territory, Hong Kong is the fourth-most densely populated region in the world.

After 20+ years of translation, I'm still learning how to tell my story —
clearly, simply, and in my own voice.

"Every message deserves to be understood."
That’s not just a line on my LinkedIn. It’s how I work.

🌐 I help tech, healthcare, and life science brands communicate meaningfully with the Traditional Chinese-speaking world.

Come say hi, or just take a look around.
This space is where I grow — in language, in work, and in life.

I'm working through our permanent collection. We have a painting of two running horses with a caption in traditional Chinese. The online tools aren't being helpful in the translation. I need human help.

If you can read this and provide incite into what it says, please reply.

what on earth is going on in this sentence? i might try to work this out for myself later, just thinking aloud for now…

"Hong Wei Xian, a/k/a "Harry Zan," 32, and Li Li, a/k/a "Lea Li," 33, both from the People's Republic of China (PRC)" from https://www.ice.gov/news/releases/2-chinese-nationals-charged-illegally-attempting-export-military-satellite-components

"a/k/a" is bizarre, but not very interesting, the names are more interesting.

I would guess that the first names listed are the standard transcriptions of their names in #Pinyin from Simplified Chinese?

But why is it different in their English names?

Harry and Lea make sense, the closest common English name … but Zan is weird?

#Taiwan uses a different system to Pinyin … but would the USA refer to them as being from the PRC? and if they were a Taiwanese spy working for the PRC to steel microchip making secrets, they'd be in Taiwan?

Maybe Hong Kong or Macau ?

Maybe judder easier to spell for Americans? but then a Pinyin X would be an S or Sh if you wrote it more phonetically?

Maybe a spy alias that's not even supposed to be the same name?

Anybody experienced in using #LaTeX or #TeX with #traditional #Chinese characters? I could use #ctexart and the #ctex package but it only seems to support #simplified characters. What I mean by this is not only being able to type #TraditionalChinese but also the article itself (section, table of contents...) should be in #traditionalCharacters, not simplified. #繁體字 #簡體字 #followerpower #boost #TeXLaTeX

Some signs and more in both English and Chinese in the Hong Kong International Airport tonight. #chinese #cantonese #traditionalchinese #bilingual #signs #airports #hongkong
