Your Chinese Name
About this book
“In order to guide Italian companies that intend to make this qualitative leap forward towards Chinese consumer, we have developed an unconventional linguistic approach which focuses on the fundamental aspects of translating Western brands into Chinese. The great potential and enormous interpretative charm of Chinese characters allow us to convey the perceived meaning of the Western brand far beyond the boundaries of our own form of writing.
The strategic choice of characters and their combinations, as needed to make foreign brands pronounceable in Chinese, can reveal and propose extraordinarily interesting brand-related values and meanings.
We are convinced that the approach we suggest can be dramatically helpful in expanding awareness of Italian brands perceived among Chinese consumers and that triggering this new course of cultural integration between Eastern and Western cultures will unquestionably strengthen the value and quality perception of Made in Italy by extending its physical and cultural boundaries.
In recent years, the global relevance of Chinese consumers has become increasingly perceptible and influential.” Zeno Casti.
