- Competent Commerce Department
Analysis
In China if you are a government translator, you are not permitted to translate to American English. When doing translations, take care to delete statements such as “in China, this is known as a Competent Commerce Department,” in order to avoid creating the fiction that the population is familiar with these English expressions. Government translators in China have however noted that “calling everything a department” is a problem that needs to be addressed in the future.
