Cantonese’s Role Worldwide and in the U.S.
Cantonese is spoken by more than 80 million people globally and is one of the most prominent Chinese languages. It is the primary language of Hong Kong and Macau and is widely used in Guangdong Province and Chinese communities around the world. In the United States, Cantonese is commonly spoken in metropolitan areas such as San Francisco, Los Angeles, New York, and Boston. As the need for cross-cultural communication grows in both public and private sectors, the demand for professional Cantonese translation services has become essential—especially for legal, medical, immigration, and educational documentation.
Types of Cantonese Documents We Translate
AML-Global handles a wide variety of documents with precision and professionalism. Legal translations include contracts, court records, depositions, and immigration documentation, all of which require certified accuracy and proper formatting. In healthcare, we translate medical records, patient forms, informed consent documents, and pharmaceutical content with full HIPAA compliance. For business and corporate clients, we translate presentations, training manuals, HR policies, technical guides, and marketing materials. Our academic translations include diplomas, transcripts, research papers, and enrollment documents. We also translate personal materials such as birth and marriage certificates, passports, and wills for official and government use.
Cantonese Translation: Linguistic and Cultural Considerations
Cantonese is a tonal language that is typically spoken rather than written. When it is written, Traditional Chinese characters are most commonly used. Many Cantonese speakers, especially in Hong Kong, are accustomed to formal documentation in written Chinese, while everyday conversation may involve colloquial speech that doesn’t always have a direct written form. Our experienced translators understand the difference between conversational and formal Cantonese, ensuring your documents are translated appropriately for the target audience. Whether you’re translating from English to Cantonese or vice versa, we make sure the content is clear, culturally appropriate, and contextually accurate.

We also offer notarization and certification for documents that require official approval or submission.
