Title Foreign Brand Name Translation and its Acceptance
Abstract
In cross-cultural business communication, brand name translation has gotten more and more attention by the domestic and foreign manufacturers. The quality of the brand name has a close relation to the success of a product in the market. This paper summarizes the current commonly used methods and translation principles of brand name, and classifies the foreign brand translations on the present Chinese market through the previous research achievements. Based on the analysis of consumers’ acceptance of different versions of foreign brands, the paper concludes that the brand translation needs to consider not simply the cultural influences of the target language, but to fully analyze factors like age, educational background of the potential consumers as well.
