Technical terms, Communist Party jargon, and proper nouns such as company names present difficulties for Chinese into English translators because literal translations of these terms are often inaccurate or incomprehensible. Fortunately, others have grappled with these same problems and have posted their solutions online and in print. This session introduces translators of all levels to these helpful, free online and offline references. We’ll discuss the best online dictionaries for technical translators, sources of official or unofficial English translations of Party catchphrases, tips and tools for translating Chinese company names, and many other web-based and hardcopy resources that make translators’ lives easier.
