PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE...
NO MORE 西紅柿, NO MORE 獼猴桃，NO MORE 土豆, NO MORE 酸橙 (What kind of translation is this....)

It's 番茄, 奇異果, 薯仔/馬鈴薯, 青檸.

I don't care if in their simplied chinese to write their "translation name" but if it's in traditional chinese it shouldn't be whatever (sometimes silly) translation...

酸橙 is really ridiculous... And I first saw that in PRICE SMART RICHMOND!
Lime is not orange!
And WTH is 電子計算機... What's the difference between computer and calculator? BAD translation! It's 電腦!!!

What is  弗吉尼亞 I can't figure this one out...

fibbi

Even with Mandarin pronounciation, 維珍尼亞 is closer to Virginia than 弗吉尼亞 ...
HOpefully 維珍航空 keeps its name...

回復 7# samsung


Why don't the mainland translator respect the "translated name" which are already used for long time? But have to come up with names even with no sense?

Say your screen name is Samsung....people always call you 三星 and you are happy about it.
Now suddenly some people call you 參桑. What do you think? You may like it, you may not like it.

It has nothing to do with "knowledge". I know that new name but doesn't mean I like it or agree to it. Rather, I laugh about it, because some translation, makes little sense.
