English uses Latin while Chinese Traditional uses Chinese characters. Because the two do not share an alphabet, translated output cannot be sounded out from the original spelling — copy the result directly rather than trying to transcribe it.
English belongs to the Indo-European family while Chinese Traditional belongs to the Sino-Tibetan family. With no shared ancestry there are few cognates to fall back on, so idioms and fixed expressions rarely map word-for-word. Short, literal sentences translate more accurately than figurative ones.
Both languages follow subject-verb-object (SVO) order, so clauses usually keep their shape during translation. Words tend to land in a similar position, which makes it easier to check a translation against the original even without fluency.
English: Approximately 1.5 billion people speak English to varying degrees of proficiency, with around 360 million native speakers. Chinese Traditional: Hundreds of millions globally use Traditional Chinese for reading and writing, though the number of native speakers primarily using it is around 40–50 million, concentrated in Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macau.
