Cantonese is the historic language of Britain's Chinese community. Post-war migration from Hong Kong's New Territories dominated the early Chinese presence here, and around 150,000 people in the UK still speak Cantonese or another Yue variety as a main language, with more arriving under the Hong Kong BN(O) route. The community is dispersed but has long-standing centres in London's Chinatown and in Manchester. The Cantonese translation and interpreting work we handle is mostly civil documents: birth and marriage certificates and identity papers for Home Office and UKVI immigration and settlement applications, court and tribunal documents, and academic transcripts sent for UK ENIC evaluation, plus NHS and court interpreting. Cantonese has about 80 million speakers worldwide.
Prism Linguistics provides Cantonese translation, interpreting and transcription across the UK in 300+ languages. Whether you need a certified document for the Home Office, a court interpreter, an NHS appointment or a business meeting, our vetted native-speaker linguists are ready to help.
