However, since English, not Chinese, has become the /lingua franca/ of computer science (and technology in general), it is be prudent to specify the Hanyu Pinyin transcription of the name as well (or instead of the real name) in this international newsgroup. In this case, with Google Translate recognizing the name as Chinese, it would probably be “Wu Xi Hao” (as suggested there). “Wu” being a common Chinese family name, it would be customary to write “WU Xi Hao” to signify that. I know first-hand from my flatmates at the university back in 2003 that at least some Chinese like to choose an English first name on the Net instead of their real first name which might be difficult to pronounce properly, and even more difficult to write, by people whose native language is not one of the Chinese languages. The traditional order of the given name is then reversed, for example “Robert Wu” (which, by serendipity, is also the name of a Chinese-American actor and producer). -- PointedEars FAQ: | SVN: Twitter: @PointedEars2 | ES Matrix: Please do not Cc: me. / Bitte keine Kopien per E-Mail.
