I need the Chinese translation of some lines, in some kind of phonetic notation. Can be English notation.

These are the lines:
What's up everybody. Hello and welcome to another edition of the Speaking English Podcast, I am your host Sebastian.

Simplified Chinese: (Chinese writing used in Mainland China)

大家好, 欢迎你到这一版本的英文口语播课, 我是你们的主持Sebastian.

In traditional Chinese(same thing just a different system of Chinese used in Taiwan and Hong Kong.)

大家好, 歡迎您到這一版本的英文口語播課, 我是你們的主持Sebastian.

In terms of phonetic notation. I will put it in both pinyin and English pronounciation of each word.

Pinyin:(the number after each word represents the tone of each word)

Da(4) Jia(1) Hao(3), huan(1) ying(2) nie(3) dao(4) zhe(4) yi(1) ban(2) ben(3) de(0) ying(1) wen(2) ko(2) yu(3) ke(4), wo(3) shi(4) nie(2) men(2) de(0) zhu(3) chi(2)

English written version of the pronunciation of each word:

Da Chia Hao, Huan, ying knee Dao Je Yi Ban Dae Ying Wen Ko yu Ke, Wo shi knee men dae ju chi Sebastian.

I am a Native Chinese speaker.

Ok, I used Google translate to translate the english text to chinese.

 這是怎麼回事大家。您好，歡迎到另一個版本的說英語播客，我是你的主機塞巴斯蒂安。

Google translate page

You can hear what the above chinese sounds like at the link below.

This is the original site for the link above.

Provided Google translate did a good job (I have no idea if they did), this should be what you are looking for.

Hope this helps.

I appreciate your effort but the translation is grammatically incorrect and awkward because Chinese ppl do not say "What is up," therefore in this case they just go straight to saying hello. Also, the second sentence is grammatically incorrect. Therefore I must give this a thumbs down.

Google Translate, Babelfish, and pretty much every other online automatic translator will not translate correctly. Sometimes you may get lucky, if a sentence in your target language is almost identical to the English sentence, but most often the wording will be different, and the target language will have expressions that just don't exist in English. Until they develop the perfect translation program, stick to human translation.

Okay, I'm not Chinese and there are limited words I know in Chinese so I tried to find a way for you to understand the characters. Even I wouldn't understand nor be able to read this:

這是怎麼回事大家。您好，歡迎到另一個版本的說英語播客，我是你的主機 Sebastian.

Anyway, If found this site where it's got tutorial on how you can speak this phrase.

http://roshisoft.com/

On translation, I removed your name because it will be translated too, so I ended up with this result:

Zhè shì zĕn me huí shì dà jiā. Nín hăo, huān yíng dào lìng yī gè băn bĕn de shuō yīng yŭ bō kè, wŏ shì nĭ de zhŭ jī Sebastian.

Sorry... Hope this helped somehow. The only Chinese I know is 'ni hao ma?' which means a bit like hello and how are you. That's why when you checked the second sentence, there's the 'nín hăo' -part.
