List all foreign names for kimchi
Kimchi is Kimchi in English. If so, do you know how to say kimchi in Chinese?
Yes, that's what you know! I thought so too. I think most people who have learned Chinese to some extent and have been to China know how kimchi is described.
(In fact, I asked 10 Chinese speaking friends around me, including native speakers, and all 10 answered the same question.)
Generally, kimchi is called kimchi (pao chai) in Chinese.
However, since a few years ago, there was a national-level desire to avoid calling kimchi kimchi kimchi in Chinese (?) This blow, kimchi from a certain moment Cinch (Cinch)I'm calling it.
(If you search for cinch directly on Google, kimchi will be searched. XD)
If you run “kimchi” on the translator... what kind of results will you get?
The Chinese expression for kimchi aimed at by the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry, Livestock, and Food, the Korea Tourism Organization, and the Ministry of Culture, Sports, and Tourism, is an expression created by combining spicy characters with strange characters.
It is a Chinese name decided by the Ministry of Agriculture and Food in 2013 after gathering opinions from industry and experts, and it seems that it has not had an impact on many people yet.
“Shinchi” was even registered as a trademark in China, but it wasn't properly known or accepted anywhere at home or abroad.
However, some large companies changed the label for kimchi from kimchi (pao chai) to spicy (cinch) and applied it.
**The theory that it was proposed as a “cinch” to avoid cultural fairness issues in China prevails. _Editor's Note
It is no exaggeration to say that translation focuses on the “communication” of origin and destination words. Seen from that point of view, it seems clear that Shinchi is a translation that still lacks much social consensus from the standpoint of the local language. However, to discuss similar references, did you know that until 2003, Seoul was called Seoul (Hancheong) instead of Seoul (Seoul) in Chinese?
At the national level, kimchi is being translated as Shinchi (Shinchi), so I wonder if Shinchi will change and become established in a few years.
What do you think?
In this post, I'll introduce more than 50 kinds of kimchi in English and Chinese. Please note that the Chinese language was written based on Shinchi.

Before actually writing the post, I first inquired about the official Chinese title of “kimchi” at the National Institute of Korean Language and Online Canada, which sets the standard for the Korean language.
The National Institute of Korean Language replied with the following response.
How are you? If you refer to the public term translation information on the National Institute of Korean Language website, “kimchi” is written as “spicy” in Chinese. Thank you

The relevant laws and regulations that serve as the basis are explained as follows.
If it is related to the unique culture of Korea and needs to reveal the tradition of the culture, it is transliterated. Example: Kimchi spicy, Dongdongju winter wine
There seems to be plenty of room for discussion about the concept of words depending on the speaker or listener. How is kimchi 10 years from now called in Chinese?
Please Translators who translate Korean>Chinese>Korean at public institutions are encouraged to refer to the relevant information and be careful when translating.
