Frequently Asked Questions
Is HI-COM a translation company in China?
Yes. Translation and localisation are core HI-COM services, coordinated by its Shanghai-based team alongside certified document support and other language services. HI-COM also has offices in Nice and Hong Kong.
Which languages and translation directions do you support?
HI-COM supports projects across 40+ languages, including Chinese, English, French, Russian, Spanish and Arabic. English-to-Chinese and Chinese-to-English translation are core directions. Confirm the language pair and intended market when requesting a quote.
Can you translate into Simplified or Traditional Chinese?
Yes, according to the intended audience and project scope. Specify the target market and required written script. If you need spoken Mandarin communication, our interpreting services are the relevant starting point.
Which service should I choose for business content?
Use the directory to match the content: legal and corporate files, manuals and technical documentation, websites and software, marketing and creative material, or specialist medical content. A project manager can help scope a mixed document set.
How do you manage terminology and review?
The brief establishes the domain, target audience and terminology resources. Translation, revision and quality checks follow the agreed workflow. Published projects such as Smiths Interconnect show how terminology and review can be coordinated across several languages.
Do you offer AI-assisted translation?
Yes, with human post-editing under a separately defined scope. Suitability depends on the content, intended use, quality requirements and confidentiality arrangements. The proposed workflow should be agreed before production.
Can you help with certified or sworn translations?
Yes. Certified Chinese translation and sworn translation have dedicated service pages. The receiving organisation’s requirements determine the appropriate format and any additional document procedures; share the checklist with your request.
How is the translation price calculated?
Language pair, word count or document volume, subject complexity, formatting, certification and urgency affect the work involved. Send the files or describe the project for a quote with the scope and deliverables identified.
How long does a translation project take?
The schedule depends on file volume, language pair, review, formatting and any additional certification steps. Tell us your deadline and whether delivery can be phased. We confirm a proposed schedule after assessing the project.
Can we discuss confidentiality before sharing files?
Yes. Discuss any NDA, sensitive content or handling requirements before sending documents. This is particularly useful for legal, financial, employee or unpublished product information.
What do you need for a translation quote?
The source and target languages, content type, approximate volume, target audience or receiving organisation, file format and deadline. Include reference terminology, layout requirements and any certification instructions where relevant.
Can I contact the Shanghai team from outside China?
Yes. Use the quote form, email, WhatsApp, phone or WeChat. International clients can begin remotely with a description of the project and confirm the document and delivery arrangements with the team.
