if it's business related you should hire a professional to write your messages. chinese is a very complex language and you may end up insulting your clients. isn't your business important?
trust me on this one. i work in the translation's field and you wouldn't believe the errors i have seen. and those free translations sites are not accurate. i have tested them and the results are hillarious.

Answer 4

"Dear sir,
This email was translated by a website called freetranslation."

"亲爱的先生，
这条电子邮件消息被称为 freetranslation 的一 webiste 翻译。"

Not bad you see, its a fairly straightforward and literal translation.

"But watch out if you use anything but simple language."
"但是密切注意如果你使用任何东西但是简单的语言。"

This translation is pure nonsense to Chinese readers.

If you are writing for business, you cannot rely on this sort of free online translation, as countless frustrated internationals can attest. You will need to have it professionally translated.

Or, youy can purchase a better ttranslation program than what is offered online. In the reference, a Chinese scholar reviews several of these programs:
