Generally speaking, all serious translation jobs should be taken care of by the native speaker of the target language. For English to Chinese translation, you definitely want a native Chinese person to handle it. 

But does the “nationality” or “origin” spell everything? Far from that! Not every Chinese person with a good dictionary can become a good translator for English to Chinese translation. 

A good Chinese translator entails at least four important qualities:

1:  Excellent understanding of English.
2:  Good skill in writing Chinese.
3:  Rich experience in “conversion” between these two languages.
4:  Extensive knowledge in related subjects.

In so many cases, I had been amused yet irritated by totally unreadable Chinese translation text produced by inexperienced Chinese translators. Yes they were writing into their native language they use daily, but still, they write terribly.
