For example, translating the title of a European or American film into Chinese can have surprising results leaving some people open mouthed and others laughing.

We can find them in restaurant bills, in advertising, in technology, in the list of services at a beauty centre and in countless other situations. Neologisms are inevitable, constantly appearing and part of the natural evolution of any language. So, should we translate them? Let us explain.
