Case Study: Hardie Grant Publishing brings Chinese Aussie Rules history to life with Chin Communications

Hardie Grant Publishing translates a 300-page book in time for launch with Chin Communications

The customer, Hardie Grant Publishing, faced the challenge of translating the English-language book "Celestial Footy," which details the history of Chinese heritage in Australian Rules Football, into Chinese. The project required extensive historical research to accurately translate 19th-century names and complex, culturally specific terms. They engaged vendor Chin Communications to handle the translation, research, and graphic design for this demanding project.

Chin Communications assembled a specialized team of translators, researchers, and designers to meticulously tackle the project's unique challenges, including translating period slang and derogatory terms. The solution was delivered on time and on budget for the book's launch. The vendor's work was publicly praised by the author at the launch event, and the Chinese version was met with immediate enthusiasm from attendees. Chin Communications successfully translated the rich historical narrative, making it accessible to a new audience of passionate football fans and historians.
