Troubleshooting of standard format for translating Chinese names into English names
The name is not translated, it should be the English spelling of the Chinese name. In fact, there is no fixed standard for English spelling of Chinese names in the world at present. The spelling of China people's names is influenced by dialects.
Only the spelling of Chinese Pinyin is protected by law, and it is internationally recognized by People's Republic of China (PRC) (China) mainland residents. In addition, unless other spellings are registered in other internationally recognized institutions, they can be used as identity representatives.
Statement 1:
The Chinese-English translation of 1. names usually follows local customs, putting surnames first.
Example: Wang, in order to highlight your surname, you can also write like this.
It is worth noting that although the second writing method is clear and common on employee cards and other signs, it is not recommended to use it in chapters because it does not meet the grammatical standards.
2. Double names are usually written together or separately.
It is worth noting that the second word of a name written separately will be regarded as the middle name in the West.
For example: Zhang Yonghao Zhang Yonghao or Zhang Yonghao; When written separately as, the middle name defaults to Hao.
3. Compound surnames are generally written together.
Example: Li Ouyang Yong Hao Yonghao Ouyang Yong.
Statement 2:
At present, the correct spelling in the world is: all names are capitalized, with the first position, the names are linked and the first letter is capitalized.
For example: Huo Qubing-Huo Qubing; ; Wei Qing-Wei Qing.
Statement 3:
First of all, foreigners know that we put our surnames first. Therefore, there is no confusion and misunderstanding, and it is also beneficial for others to identify and use. Don't separate the three words, it's enough to separate the surname from the first name. Capitalizing only the first letter of last name and first name is enough.
It is worth mentioning that many authoritative magazines, including Time and Newsweek, sometimes like to use hyphens.
