The four core services of HI-COM

One team for your commercial and language needs.

Work with us on a focused assignment or connect several services within one agreed scope. We support Hong Kong businesses, international teams working in Hong Kong and regional projects linking Hong Kong with Mainland China.

Commercial strategy · Research · Partner development

Start with the business decision you need to make. Our consulting work connects research, positioning and partner development with the language and execution support needed to move the project forward.

Market research & commercial positioning

Assess your target customers, competitors and routes to market. Define whether the opportunity is in Hong Kong, Mainland China or both before choosing the execution plan.

Explore market research

Partner & distributor search

Identify relevant distributors, importers and commercial partners against an agreed brief. Focus on category fit, reach and practical introductions rather than a generic directory.

Discuss sourcing support

Hong Kong-to-Mainland development

Audience strategy · Content · Campaign execution

Hong Kong marketing, built around the people you want to reach.

A Hong Kong launch and a Mainland China campaign need their own brief. Define the audience and commercial objective first, then choose the language, positioning, content and channels that support it.

For a Hong Kong audience

Position your offer clearly.

Connect audience insight with an English and Traditional Chinese content plan. Adapt the proposition and tone to the specific Hong Kong audience you want to reach.

  • Brand positioning, naming and localized messaging
  • Website, presentation and campaign content
  • Hong Kong language and terminology review
  • Trade-fair and event communication materials

Planning across both markets? Agree the audience, message and success measures for each market. Traditional and Simplified Chinese versions, local terminology and platform-specific content should be scoped as part of the same plan.

Cantonese · English · Traditional Chinese · Mandarin

The right language, script and local voice.

Cantonese is central to spoken communication in Hong Kong, while English and Traditional Chinese are important written languages. A useful language brief specifies both the people you want to reach and the format they will receive.

Cantonese for spoken communication

Specify Cantonese for meetings, recordings and spoken content aimed at Cantonese-speaking participants. Tell us the tone, setting and required output, including transcription or translated scripts.

Explore audio language services

Hong Kong Traditional Chinese for written content

For documents, websites and marketing materials, agree the written register and Hong Kong terminology. Formal Traditional Chinese and conversational Cantonese copy serve different purposes.

Explore Chinese translation

Mandarin & Simplified Chinese for Mainland projects

When your project also serves Mainland China, scope the spoken language and written version separately. Adapt terminology and the commercial message for the intended Mainland audience.

Cantonese and multilingual interpreting for Hong Kong.

Hong Kong service questions

Plan your project with the right brief.

Answers to common questions about languages, commercial support and delivery.

Which HI-COM services are available for Hong Kong projects?

We support consulting, marketing, translation and interpreting for Hong Kong companies and teams working on Hong Kong projects. The scope can cover one assignment or connect research, partner development, localized content, meetings and event communication.

Can you provide a Cantonese interpreter in Hong Kong?

Cantonese interpreting can be scoped for business meetings, negotiations, visits and events. Send the language pair, date, location, agenda and preferred format. On-site delivery and interpreter availability are assessed against those details.

Do you offer Cantonese translation and Traditional Chinese localization?

Yes. For written content, specify Hong Kong Traditional Chinese and the intended register. For Cantonese recordings or spoken content, specify the transcription, translation, script, subtitle or voiceover output. This distinction helps us prepare the appropriate language brief.

Can I use the same Chinese content in Hong Kong and Mainland China?

The versions should be scoped for their respective audiences. Hong Kong commonly uses Traditional Chinese, while Mainland China commonly uses Simplified Chinese. Terminology, tone, channel requirements and spoken-language needs can also differ.

Do you provide certified translation services for Hong Kong submissions?

We assess official-document translation against the receiving institution’s instructions. Send the source document, destination, required certification format and deadline. The appropriate translation, certification and delivery scope is confirmed before quotation.

Can you help a Hong Kong company develop its Mainland China business?

Yes. Our China-market services include market research, entry strategy, partner and distributor search, marketing implementation, translation and interpreting. A Hong Kong-to-Mainland project can combine these services around an agreed commercial objective.

What does your Hong Kong marketing support include?

The brief can cover audience research, positioning, naming, English and Traditional Chinese content, transcreation and event materials. For Mainland China audiences, our marketing practice also covers WeChat, Douyin, Xiaohongshu and influencer campaigns. The plan follows the target market.

Can you support trade fairs and conferences?

We can scope interpreting, translated presentations and booth materials, multilingual coordination and event communication. Send the venue, programme, dates, audience and languages. Larger interpreting projects also need a brief covering language channels and equipment.

Where is your team based, and can you arrange on-site work?

Our office is in Shanghai, and our operating scope includes Hong Kong and other China-market projects. On-site support is arranged around the project requirements, dates and resource availability. Remote assignments can also be scoped where appropriate.

How do I get a quote for a Hong Kong project?

Send the objective, target audience, service requirements, languages and deadline. For translation, include files and the intended use; for interpreting, include the agenda and location. For consulting or marketing, include the market, product and commercial priorities. We then prepare a scoped proposal.
