againstwind Posted December 1, 2006 at 02:24 PM Report Posted December 1, 2006 at 02:24 PM Bad luck. I just wrote a lot to explain what the significance is for learners to master Chinese translation of some famous non-Chinese' names. But...... down! And I haven't saved my thread yet! Anyway, be short, I bagan from Nobel Laureates in Literature, more resources are coming soon. Hope they're helpful. Notes: 1) We usualy only use the red characters when talking about the person instead of their full names. 2) Some names' colour is totally blue. Because I don't know how to call them, either. ( I am not familiar with those writers.) 3) Someone's translations are not unique. I have added in bracket. There may be more translations, especially in Taiwan and Hongkong. Any supplement is welcome. Quote

trevelyan Posted December 2, 2006 at 02:53 AM Report Posted December 2, 2006 at 02:53 AM Why in graphic form? This sort of material would be quite useful for reference tools. If it is available in text form and whoever generated the tables doesn't mind, I'd love to be able to add any missing entries to Adso. Quote
atitarev Posted December 2, 2006 at 04:57 AM Report Posted December 2, 2006 at 04:57 AM It's even better if famous personal names (+ more geographical names) are added to the freely available CEDICT dictionaries. Most dictionaries now derive from there. Japanese EDICT has a separate name dictionary, which contains Chinese names but for Chinese it would make more sense to store standard or generally accepted names of famous people, not just Nobel Laureates but presidents, world leaders, basically people who is a lot of material is written about.

roddy Posted December 2, 2006 at 11:46 AM Report Posted December 2, 2006 at 11:46 AM I've installed a modification to allow the use of table formatting so that we could get this on the board in an easy-to-read text format. Results below. Problems have arisen in that a) Some of the special characters in foreign names aren't displaying correctly B) The pinyin in the Excel file is in a 'Chinese Pinyin' font, and is completely mangled. Those are both font / display issues, so let me first check - is everyone seeing this or is it just me. Also, the color highlighting has been lost - I can put that back in, it'll just take a little time. I'm also attaching the original Excel file, for which you can all thank Againstwind.
