出於對共和國當局嘅尊重，喺廣州啲外國領事館目前基本都係用「Guangzhou」譯法。美領館有職員話：「外交度要顧及同大陸文件的銜接問題，而文件嘅一致係好重要嘅。不過有陣時要畀多啲人明咧，就會用返『Guangzhou (Canton)』」。意大利領館嘅職員就話，渠地使用英語對外陣都係一致用「Guangzhou」嘅，不過用返意大利文陣就會用返「Canton」。目前，法文同義大利文都仲係「Canton」，葡萄牙文係「Cantão」，波蘭文同荷蘭文都係「Kanton」，西班牙文係「Cantón」；而德文就係「Kanton」同「Guangzhou」一齊用著。
Out of respect for the authorities of the Republic of China, some foreign consulates in Guangzhou are currently basically using the translation "Guangzhou". An official of the US consulate said: "On diplomatic issues, we should pay attention to the issue of connection with mainland documents, and consistency of documents is very important. However, sometimes to make more people clear, they will use "Guangzhou (Canton)". The staff of the Italy consulate said that the English language used in Qudi was also the same as "Guangzhou", but when the Italy was used, "Canton" would be used again. At present, French is also "Canton" in Italian language, "Cantão" in Portuguese, "Kanton" in Poland and Netherlands, and "Canton" in Spanish; And in German, "Kanton" and "Guangzhou" are used together.
