Note, I do not know practice in China, but they should be CERTIFIED translations. How this is done and what is required varies by country (some countries use notary stamp after). Main thing I believe is stamp/official letterhead or similar and letter saying something like "I certify this is a true translation of document X" date signature position etc.. In most countries there will be some typical process used, like certified translator, qualificaiton, etc.
Most of eg former soviet union / many ex-Warsaw pact typical process includes notary but don't know about China.
The same thing, when the company help you to transalte to English, they will stamp it.
Yeah, every civil law country I'm aware of has a standard system - you just need to specify that you need an 'official translation' - and they'll often just ask "for the Embassy?" and they'll do the necessary, work with notary if that's required. (I think Chinese legal system is basically a civil law-type but don't know).
Again if you just tell them 'for the embassy' they'll probably know the required format. As long as you're at an official translator bureau or whatever they're called.
