dwq Posted March 13, 2018 at 05:17 PM Report Share Posted March 13, 2018 at 05:17 PM Welcome to the forum. There's nothing to translate, as names don't change from one dialect to another, they'd still be the same characters. I believe what you're really asking for is the Hokkien pronunciation or romanization of 嘉诚 , *one* of which is 嘉 ka 誠 (traditional form of 诚) sêng according to the Taiwanese Dictionary at <http://ip194097.ntcu.edu.tw/ungian/soannteng/chil/Taihoa.asp>. (Got it from this thread in the non-Mandarin Chinese section of this website.) I don't know if those are the only pronunciations, nor that Taiwanese is the Hokkien sub-dialect you're looking for, nor the exact romanization system the above is using. Perhaps you can ask in the non-Mandarin section if you have more questions. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
