Error Analysis of the Bilingual Packages from the Perspective of Equivalence Principle
Chapnslating in a standard way is of great importance.
In this research, some bilingual packages are collected from supermarkets. Errors on these packages are analyzed and sorted into different categories, together with those collected from books and articles.
The aim of this research is to appeal to professional scholars to work on the standardization of bilingual packages in China. Flexibility is necessary in translation, but standardization of translation is vital in bilingual packages. For example, “cheng fen (成分)” has been translated into “ingredient” , “component” and “composition”. In standardized translation, a unique word should be adopted to avoid misunderstanding.

This thesis will discuss the translation of Chinese packages into English in terms of vocabulary, sentence structure, semantics, and culture from the perspective of equivalence principle.
