Should we create content in English or Chinese first?

Answer summary

Choose based on your core audience. A bilingual approach is best for HK, prioritizing your primary language.

Full answer

This depends entirely on your primary audience.

For brands in Hong Kong:

  • Chinese builds deep local connection and trust
  • English projects international professionalism

A bilingual strategy is often ideal. We recommend establishing your brand identity in your primary language first, then expanding to bilingual content. Rather than using direct machine translations, adapt the wording to match the linguistic habits of each target platform.
