About Me
Ni Hao 你好！
I'm Ivy Diao, a NAATI certified English and Chinese translator and interpreter with over 12 years of professional translation and interpreting experience.
With a passion for cross-cultural communications, I started Lime Translations in 2015, a boutique English and Chinese translation and interpreting service agency in Auckland, New Zealand.
Here, my mission is clear: empower clients to reach and engage Chinese customers seamlessly. Whether it's an informative brochure, a compelling marketing flyer, or a captivating website, I'm dedicated to helping you communicate effectively and achieving your business goals in the Chinese market.
Beyond conventional translation and interpreting services, I also provide transcreation service, particularly for advertising and marketing content. Transcreation preserves the emotional and creative intent of your material, resonating deeply with your audience.

What makes Lime Translations different from conventional translation agencies?
01
Precision and Expertise
As a NAATI certified translator and interpreter, I bring 12 years of expertise to every project. Specilising in business, marketing, and tourism, I am dedicated to facilitating seamless communication and fostering global connections in these dynamic and ever-evolving industries. Whether it's translating corporate documents, crafting compelling marketing content, or localising tourism materials, I pride myself on delivering precise and culturally relevant translations that help businesses thrive and destinations shine.
03
Tailored Cultural Understanding
Beyond words, I grasp the nuances of cultural contexts. This means your content isn't just translated; it's adapted to ensure cultural resonance, making your message impactful across borders.
02
Personalized Attention
I provide personalised attention to each client. Instead of talking to Project Managers, you get direct communication with the translator (ME!) who will be handling your project, ensuring a deeper understanding of your specific needs and preferences. This leads to efficient communication and consistently high-quality translation and interpreting service.
04
Versatility in Services
Whether you need certified document translation, real-time interpreting, or cultural adaptation, I've got you covered. From business meetings to creative content, your communication needs are my priority. By using CAT tools, I am able to generate a final translated document that automatically mirrors the original document’s format, saving you the time for in-house or third-party typesetting.
