Abstract：
Trademarks, the sign of identification of goods, have an important function in the world trade. In the process of economic globalization, the trademarks of commodities play a unique role in opening up the world markets, participating in the international competition, and establishing brand awareness. With frequent world trade, trademark translation attracts more and more attention. The national cultures, the psychologies of consumers, the economic benefits and other ingredients are involved in the trademark translation, which complexes the process of translation. As an important part of social ideology, culture permeates every corner of our society, and the trademark as well. So the trademark translation is not only language transference, but also a cultural transference. In a sense, whether it is a good translation depends on the cultures. In order to obtain a better cross-cultural communication, it is necessary to take cultural factors into account. To avoid mistakes of trademark translation, the key is to successfully step over the cross-cultural barriers.
The purpose of this research is to help people better understand the cultural implications of trademarks with some typical examples so as to grasp the principles of trademark translation and flexibly use different translation methods from a cross-cultural communication perspective.
