While it has been a talking point whether Messi can grab his last chance to win the World Cup, the Chinese translation of players\u2019 names is also widely argued. In particular, Kylian Mbapp\u00e9 from France national team has been the most controversial, due to various versions of translation arising from the French pronunciation of \u201cMbapp\u00e9\u201d. As a result, YouTubers Trial &amp; Error made a visit to NOW TV and checked out how they transliterated players names.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9a48c30 elementor-aspect-ratio-169 elementor-widget elementor-widget-video\" data-id=\"9a48c30\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;youtube_url&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.youtube.com\\\/watch?v=Sa2nSVv-Zj8&quot;,&quot;start&quot;:26,&quot;video_type&quot;:&quot;youtube&quot;,&quot;controls&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;aspect_ratio&quot;:&quot;169&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"video.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-wrapper elementor-fit-aspect-ratio elementor-open-inline\">\r\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-video\"><\/div>\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-18d9402 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"18d9402\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-text-editor elementor-clearfix\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<p>During their visit, the staff from NOW TV explained that they transliterated players names into Chinese according to the mother language of the players.

While it would of course be the most respectful way, it is an uneasy art to balance between aesthetics and accurate pronunciation. Finding native speakers to endorse the translation makes it an even harder job. Perhaps it is the least controversial to translate the name of a former English football player\u2014Drinkwater!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Published on 16 December 2022 by Jeffrey Wan<\/p>\n<p><\/span><br \/>\nDuring World Cup 2022, it has been a talking point of how players\u2019 names are translated by the media. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":9152,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v18.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>How are World Cup players\u2019 names translated?
