Tips

usage

The full standard rendering is 威斯康辛州 - 'Wisconsin'. 康辛州 chops off the leading 威斯 (Weisi-, 'Wis-'), a casual subtitle shortening you'll see when subtitle space is tight. In careful writing, always use 威斯康辛州. Compare with similar shortenings: 麻州 for 麻萨诸塞州 (Massachusetts), 加州 for 加利福尼亚州 (California).
