Abstract:Brand name, namely trademark, has become an essential part of modern life as a symbol of merchandise. With more and more communication between China and other nations, plus the fierce competitions amongst the countries, a massive influx of trademarks from foreign countries has occurred in China, of which the English trademarks are in a dominant position. This situation has attached more importance to the translation of the trademarks from English to Chinese. The quality of the translation may influence the achievement of cultural communication. More awareness should be paid in the trademark translation. This paper is based on the current situation of the transliteration in brand name translation, dedicating to the further study of this field. The paper has pointed out the principles which people should pay attention to in the transliteration of brand names, putting forward the opinion that the name and the translation should be consolidated. The translation should not only express the letter, but also the spirit. Meanwhile some ambiguities should be avoided. The thesis will provide a few suggestions on the application of the transliteration of brand names. At the end of the paper, there will be a brief summary.
