ARE YOU AN Interpreter?

What is the difference between Traditional Chinese and Simplified Chinese?
Traditional Chinese is the written form of the Chinese language with origins dating back to the second millennium B.C. In 1946, to promote literacy throughout China, the government of the People’s Republic of China introduced Simplified Chinese characters. Many characters are the same in Traditional Chinese and Simplified Chinese.
