To analyze English translation of Chinese medicine recipes and provide tentative solutions
so as to provide guidelines for standardizing the translation.The data are collected based on literature review
and specific examples are collected and analyzed.Substandard translations widely exist
i.e.a term with different translations
different terms sharing the same translation and cultural misunderstanding.Such problems hinder global spread and application of Chinese medicine.Translation of Chinese Medicine Recipes should follow principles of unity
accuracy and conciseness
and translators should adopt different approaches according to naming methods of the recipes
