zeaugust Posted August 13, 2008 at 04:18 AM Report Posted August 13, 2008 at 04:18 AM Hello, friends! I have to return a item to a seller who provided a Chinese address, so I asked him to translate to english, but I can't contact him anymore, so I did it by myself, it is still missing some parts. Could someone help me translate the following please: 布吉桂芳园沐风居c座903室, 深圳市, 广东省, 518112, 中华人民共和国) like that: Name of Recipient: Street Address: Postal Code: 518112 Shenzhen City: 深圳市 Guangdong Province: 广东省 People's Republic of China: 中华人民共和国 Thanks.

889 Posted August 13, 2008 at 08:10 AM Report Posted August 13, 2008 at 08:10 AM The above translation has added the name of the district, but left out the name of the housing estate, Guifang Yuan (or Guifang Garden). I'd make this: [Name of Addressee] Block C, No. 903 Mufeng Ju Guifang Yuan Longgang, Buji Town Shenzhen City Guangdong Province China 518112 Quote
Lu Posted August 13, 2008 at 10:15 AM Report Posted August 13, 2008 at 10:15 AM Note that if you want to send something to this person, it's better to write the address in Chinese if you can (and then put a big 'CHINA' under it to get it to the right country), since Chinese postmen generally don't read English.

zeaugust Posted August 14, 2008 at 02:46 AM Author Report Posted August 14, 2008 at 02:46 AM I will write the address in Chinese, just wanted to know what it means. Do you think I should put the address in two ways: english and chinese? You've been so helpful. Thanks! Quote
Lu Posted August 14, 2008 at 03:14 PM Report Posted August 14, 2008 at 03:14 PM Just Chinese should do, as soon as it arrives in China they'll know what to do with it. You can add English if you want, but Chinese should be enough. Writing PR China (and not just China) is not a bad idea. Quote
