Different Chinese Translation in Mainland China, Taiwan and Hong Kong<\/h3>\n

US Presidents<\/h4>\n

It is very interesting that people in the three places call these presidents different names according to their ways of translation:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Some of the translation in HK have not been verified. If you have more reference about them, please let me know.<\/p>\n

Movie Names<\/h4>\n

Movie names have the most interesting translation because of the different cultural and lingual environments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
