Dear Peter,

Thank you for the Mandarin example.

As I expected, a couple of questions: What is 里 lǐ doing in the address? Is 甲 jiǎ like a street or block, perhaps?

There are Pinyin rules for combining syllables and adding capitals, perhaps something like:

Běijīng shì Cháoyáng qū Xībàhé Guāngxīmén Běi lǐ Jiǎ 31 hào

Notes

- Note that tone marks are normally removed in transliterated addresses.

- The order of the Chinese address and English address is very different e.g. Jiǎ.

- No hyphens before elements such as shì (city) and qū.

- 区Qū is translated as “district”.

- The Chinese literally says Guangximen North (rather than North Guangximen).

Although政务和公益机构域名注册管理中心 (CONAC) has a commonly used English translation and acronym, I was told in Buenos Aires that there are many Chinese organizations with no English translations for their names.

Regards,

Chris.

Hi all,

In Chinese Characters: 北京市朝阳区西坝河光熙门北里甲31号
