stripe Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 How does one google anything in a language one can't even read??? Copy and paste! Google can figure it out. You might like their translation section. It's rough but useful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, but to copy/paste you need to have a starting point! My DD asked me how to say write Canada in Simplified Chinese. That's all I had ! I finally figured out those symbols, but was asking to confirm that I did find, in a whole page of Mandarin, the characters that meant Canada.

stripe Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 Good point. But do try the Google translate. Here's one way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joyful Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 Yup. That's "Canada" in Chinese. Doesn't matter the dialect - whether Mandarin, Cantonese, etc... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
