Linguistic considerations
Getting Chinese (Cantonese) right.
Small choices — script, register and filing context — change whether a Chinese (Cantonese) document is accepted or an interpretation session lands correctly. Here is what we watch for.
Dialect & variety
Cantonese and Mandarin share written standard Chinese but spoken Cantonese uses distinct vocabulary and grammar. Booking a Mandarin interpreter for a Cantonese speaker is a common client error we help correct up front.
Recipient alignment
Every Chinese (Cantonese) project is matched to its destination — a certified translation formatted for the exact recipient, or an interpreter briefed on the venue's protocol — so it clears review the first time.
