Crowdsourcing Translation: A New Approach of Chinese Culture Translation

Qian LI

Abstract


In the information age, the rapid development of internet technology plays an important role in the rise of crowdsourcing translation, which also innovates the traditional translation mode by its unique advantages. Nowadays, with the rapid increase of China’s international status and cultural prosperity, crowdsourcing, as an emerging approach, is more and more influential on Chinese culture translation activities. This paper firstly gives an overview of the study of Chinese culture translation; secondly points out the negative aspects of Chinese culture translation and thirdly discusses the crowdsourcing translation’s function and significance for Chinese culture translation. Finally, some limitation and prospects are put forward.
