What You Need to Know About Chinese Interpreting

China is a vast business landscape, and it’s one that can’t be conquered without a developed understanding of the language. Its rising economy, being the second largest in the world, makes China a desired target for many businesses. There is no room for errors when it comes to business translation and interpretation. To avoid any possible issues, it is vital to use Chinese interpreting services for your business dealings. Absolute Translations can offer native speaking interpreters based in your target location. In this blog, we are going to investigate why having an interpreter by your side will allow you to do business more effectively.  

Defining Culture with Chinese Interpreting Services

China is a large country with many different language variations. Each city has a different way of operating and a different culture. Beijing locals have an appreciation for history and their past. They often have pride in their position as China’s centre of power. Shanghai is the opposite; it is very modern and new trends are embraced. The people who live and conduct business there are proud of their continual growth and transformation from such a small village to a modern, recognised city.  Having someone who can interpret the Chinese language, who also has a deeper understanding of these cultural variances, can make all the difference when attending conferences and meetings.

Differing Dialects

Mandarin and Cantonese are the two most common dialects spoken throughout China. Each one is more predominant in a different part of the country. Mandarin is prominent in northern and western China, whereas Cantonese is spoken throughout Hong Kong. Mandarin is considered to be the business dialect of China, but it is likely that any business dealings will also include Taiwanese. The complexity of the language requires a high level of expertise and native speaking interpreters to avoid any errors.
