Expert Mandarin and Cantonese interpreters for cross-border business negotiations, legal proceedings, medical consultations, and international conferences.
Chinese is the most widely spoken first language in the world, with Mandarin (Putonghua) alone having over 900 million native speakers and Cantonese adding a further estimated 85 million, primarily in Guangdong, Hong Kong, and Macau. As the official language of China and Taiwan, and a co-official language of Singapore and Hong Kong, Chinese is the language of the world's second-largest economy and one of the most critical languages for international business, technology, manufacturing, and trade.
BeTranslated provides Mandarin and Cantonese interpreters for the full spectrum of commercial, legal, and technical settings. Mainland China business negotiations require interpreters fluent in Putonghua and familiar with PRC corporate norms. Hong Kong legal proceedings require Cantonese-English interpreters conversant with common law procedure. For Taiwan or Singapore contexts, we provide the appropriate regional variety. All interpreters are briefed on subject matter before assignments.
