Chinese Business Interpretation Services

We Can Help You in China!

Do you have an important meeting scheduled in China, but your Chinese counterpart doesn't speak English well enough or at all? Are you giving a sales presentation to a group of potential clients and worry that you won't make the sale if you can't communicate easily? Perhaps communication issues with your Chinese vendor/buyer are related to cultural differences and misunderstandings that have gradually built up, and you're afraid that the situation could deteriorate quickly if you say or do the wrong things. We can help you avoid such dilemmas with our cultural and linguistic expertise.

Consultation Before the Meeting

Before negotiations or presentations take place, we can answer any questions you may have regarding business etiquette, clarify the positions and roles of associates for effective means of introduction, and discuss any other matters of concern to you. You can consult us either by phone or email before or after your arrival in China, or even meet us in person at a place and time convenient to you.
Interpretation During the Meeting

Not only can we interpret for you and ensure that communication between you and your Chinese counterparts runs smoothly, but we can also inform you of subtle yet valuable (and often unintended!) signs or gestures from the Chinese side.. We will inform you of the precise relationships between your Chinese associates and make sure that you are aware of everything important going on in the meeting. We will also give you cultural tips to avoid causing offence or embarrassment and suggest ways of displaying goodwill. If the meeting extends to a social event at a restaurant or other public location, we will let you know what is in the food, make sure that you are not put in any awkward position and help you participate in the conversation so that you make a good impression on your hosts.

Review After the meeting

We will review the details of the meeting by sharing our views and providing suggestions towards follow-up measures which may be of great value to you. If time permits, we can have the follow-up review straight after the meeting, if not, we can send a follow-up report to you by email, or we can arrange to meet at your convenience.
Choose Either a Chinese or British Business Interpreter

.Our team of professional Chinese interpreters can ensure that communication is successful in all your business meetings, however, if you feel more comfortable working by a British interpreter/consultant, we can easily arrange for him/her to accompany you throughout your trip.

Interpreting Chinese Dialects

. There are seven main groups of dialects in China. The two most popular ones are Mandarin and Cantonese, whereas the other five belong to the Gan, Hakka, Min, Xiang and Wu groups. Apart from various Chinese dialects, written Chinese also appears in two separate versions: Traditional and Simplified. We can provide interpreters who are familiar with all these dialects and written forms.
