Two formats — you choose, same price
Every screenshot keeps its original layout: the same bubbles, names, times and order.
This makes the evidence easy to present and easy to check against the original.
- Format 1 — Bilingual: the Chinese stays visible and the English appears under each message, so anyone can match every line to the original at a glance.
- Format 2 — English only: the Chinese is covered and the English takes its place, so the screenshot looks just like the original, in English.
Voice messages
WeChat voice messages are transcribed in Chinese and translated into English, then attached to the matching screenshot. Send the audio files (or a screen recording) together with your screenshots.
What to send for a quote
We'll follow up with any questions and collect the complete, uncropped set in order once the details are confirmed.
- A few sample screenshots so we can see the format
- The total number of screenshots and roughly how many minutes of voice messages
- The case or deadline, if you have one
How is WeChat evidence translation priced?
Screenshots are priced per screenshot, and voice messages per minute of audio. Tell us the number of screenshots and the approximate audio length and we'll send an exact quote.
Which format should I choose?
Both cost the same, so pick whichever suits your case. The bilingual format lets readers check each line against the Chinese; the English-only format reads like the original screenshot. If you're not sure, ask your attorney or tell us how the evidence will be used.
Can you translate stickers, emoji and slang?
Yes. Stickers and emoji are described, and internet slang is translated for meaning with a note where a literal translation would mislead.
