We are pleased to offer expert legal translation in both Traditional and Simplified scripts, with native understanding of Chinese culture and customs, and interpretation in Mandarin and Cantonese - if you require a different Chinese language or dialect, please contact us directly.
Chinese is a collection of languages, rather than a single unified language - it is a linguistic family tree. Mandarin is an official spoken language in China, Taiwan, and Singapore. However the official written version differs and are not always completely mutually intelligible: Simplified Chinese characters (简体) are used in China and Singapore, and Traditional Chinese characters (繁體) are used in Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macau.
In addition to spoken Mandarin, there are many other spoken varieties of Chinese including Shanghainese, Fukienese, and Cantonese. The latter is an official language in both Hong Kong and Macau, and is also predominantly spoken in China's Guangzhou province.
If you are unsure what language, dialect, or written form of Chinese you require, please reach out directly to us and we will be able to assist in identifying your needs.
