Depeche Mode is usually written in English in Chinese media rather than translated. Informal renderings like
赶时髦乐队 (gǎnshímáo yuèduì, 'follow-fashion band') or
快递模式 (kuàidì móshì, 'express-mail mode') exist but aren't standard. The name itself is French for 'news dispatch' (a French journalism term); the band took it from an early-1980s French fashion magazine.
