Shanghai has developed a new series of guidelines that seek to eradicate Chinglish in public signs and restaurant menus.And next month,the Shanghai English Language Usage Standards will be issued to improve English-language services before the 2010 World Expo.
The standards will have an introduction to basic translation rules and list examples of the common English words concerned with public transport,hospitals,tourist spots,and restaurants.For example,signs like “deformed man toilet” will be replaced with a more proper translation for a restroom with wheelchair access.
Language experts from local universities have written the standards.And a free online version will be available to the public by the end of this year.
“The improper translation of signs will destroy the image of Shanghai,” said an official.“The World Expo is a stage for global science and technology with a rich audience of different languages and cultural backgrounds.It needs high-level language services.”
