I have participated in the China International Import Expo for four consecutive years, and this has allowed me to witness the high-quality development of internet-based language services provider Transn, which has been supplying the annual expo with professional translators, interpreters and volunteers to facilitate trade between purchasers and exhibitors.

Unlike other professional expos, the CIIE covers a wide range of products from various industries and attracts exhibitors from around the world. As such translators and interpreters who specialize in different fields and languages are required. This demand has driven the development of Transn.

To cater to the CIIE, Transn has been making efforts to improve the online language service platform, seek innovative development, and increase investment in scientific innovation.

I still remember our company received the urgent task of gathering 38 interpreters who are fluent in Russian for the trade mission from Kazakhstan during the third edition of CIIE. We took just one week to complete the task.

The CIIE gathers Chinese enterprises that are looking to establish a presence in global markets as well as foreign ones aiming to tap the Chinese market. This has presented Transn with many business opportunities.

To date, Transn has forged cooperative relations with about 40 CIIE exhibitors from countries including Egypt, India, and Belarus.

CIIE has also created opportunities for Transn's translators and interpreters who are proficient in lesser-known languages and vertical sectors requiring professional knowledge.
