@JemEripol Rude but straightforward, right? You received a business plan and you are confused some Chinese word. You ask it because of profit, not love. I think you should ask the people aka translator who do it for profit - and they're also professional! So it seems that you're the rude one.

@JemEripol Do it in Stakoverflow. 1. Post a programmer question like: "how to represent a integer in Golang, I know how to do it in C++ tho. And BTW, it's my manger give me this task".

@JemEripol For the Google part. You clearly don't know how business run. You are paying for Google, in a indirect way - you use google for searching/YouTube. You see the Ad right? Do you really think Google is a charity/Non-profit? It's someone pay this service for you. Check the core definition of the "business company".  REVENUE/PROFIT!

@JemEripol The 2nd point reflects that you don't know business. If you value this plan well enough, you won't bother to learn Chinese yourself/hire a translator, I mean, attending the Chinese lecture or something like that, not post here are hoping someone could do it for free.

@JemEripol My point is: it's OK to ask question here, only if you show you're interested in those subject. From my point of view, you seem like those who "Wait, what are those ugly characters mean? Damn Chinese use English, I got to let someone translate it for me, damn, I don't want to pay for this one-time thing". You know what I'm saying? You are interested in this document, not the language/culture itself.

You are unbelievable, brother! Are there rules in this community that you can only post questions if you are INTERESTED in the Chinese Language? You talk too much about earning brother. Then come here and I will hire you to translate four phrases into English. How much will that cost me? I will pay you.. Did I give too much to translate? Is it a whole paragraph? If I can google it, then I will do it. But READ MY PROBLEM AGAIN! If the approach is wrong, you can flag the answers below then suggest the answer of Ali below? Right? Don't get ahead of yourself, brother.
