BEIJING, Dec.20 (Xinhua) -- Beijing is trying to standardize the English
names of all its dishes and drinks ahead of the 2008 Olympics, Wednesday's
Beijing Daily said.
By the end of January, 2007, all the dishes and drinks served at the city's restaurants
will have "standardized" English names, according to the Beijing Speaks
Foreign Languages Programme, an government-sponsored organization to promote
English among Beijing residents.
The organization said it has finished translation of over 1,000dishes and
drinks so far and the English names will be put on their official website
(www.bjenglish.com.cn).
"We welcome public participation and suggestions," the newspaper quoted the
organization as saying.
The organization said it hoped the move could help reduce confusion
and inconvenience caused by the unambiguous English names that were used to
be served on the city's menu.
