In classical Chinese the words tend to be monosyllabic, whereas in modern Chinese they are usually two syllables. Ian:Are there words with more than two syllables in Chinese? Kit:The vast majority are actually two syllables, with each syllable expressed by a character. In English, a word may consist of five, six or seven letters. The Chinese translation for this would usually be expressed in two characters. Of course, this formula looks a little different in German due to the many compounds, but in general it is usually translated from English anyway. The origin of Chinese characters goes back to pictograms (image writing), a similar concept to Egyptian hieroglyphs or ideograms, in which entire words or concepts are expressed by a character.
However, today's signs make it very difficult to determine their origin, if at all. In Chinese, letters are HK Phone Number not used to form words, but rather characters that express words or concepts. The cost of a translation usually depends on the number of words in the source text. However, the number of Chinese characters is much smaller than that of words in German or English. So when we translate from Chinese, we need to apply some kind of conversion rate. For the Chinese-English combination this would be 1.6. On average, one Chinese character is equivalent to 1.6 words in English. In German-speaking countries, calculations are often made based on the number of lines/characters (in this case letters), which then makes the calculation a little more complicated. when it comes to Chinese, it is usually translated from or into English.

The main reason for this is that there are many more professional translators for this combination, especially when it comes to certain specialist areas.
