How can we know it is a good Chinese translation

How can I know it is a good Chinese translation?

You will always have a concern when you get a Chinese translation from a freelancer, especially you do not know Chinese.

You hire a Chinese proofreader, He or She make an overall comments on it. Or you get the comment from your client. The feedback may be positive, you will be relax.

However, the feedback may be negative. You forward them to the translator.

The translator say ‘sorry’ but sometimes you will get some responds from the translator as the following:

“I revise some texts - but not all as I insist that some translations are appropriate…”
“It is language art, not math. Even the proofreader made corrections, you send the translation to third person, and new issues possibly are occurred… it is endless!  ”
