    I’m making a Chinese version of an old video. I have a translation in Word and it has been successful to copy and paste into PS. Single words are easy, and that is 7 out of 9 images but there is a document where I need to properly re-format the translation. And it is beyond Google translate (which I used a lot and found excellent).

    Does anyone here read Chinese and be willing to edit either the Word doc or simple PS file?

    I can’t go back to the original translater bbecause they are some relative of the client and I want to keep them ignorant of our ignorance…

    Actually the vid is online on one of our backpages (not public) so I could give a link if necessary.

    So you want to have a translation of the WORD document from Chinese to English?

    How big is the WORD document?

    Althoug there is a big difference between Chinese and Chinese, there is a good chance that I might be able to help you.

    Hi thanks for the offer.

    What I had was Chinese text in a Word doc which I copied to paste into PhotoShop.

    The result was a big mass of text running off the page and needing to be broken down into regular lines.

    I was hesitant to break lines solely by length.

    Someone here solved it by running down to Chinatown with a iPad thinggy and working their way through the waiters, kitchen staff and part-time students.

    They fixed it on his screen and I just conformed Photoshop.
