Tips

usage

An ad-hoc rendering used in subtitles and translated fiction; no single canonical bearer. The famous American family name West is normally rendered 韦斯特 (Wéisītè, same syllables, different first character) — see Kanye West (坎耶·韦斯特) and Adam West. Both are pronounced identically in Mandarin.
