Tips

usage
A non-standard transliteration. The Czech capital Prague is conventionally rendered 布拉格 (Bùlāgé) in PRC writing, so when you see 普拉格 it's almost always a personal name (Pragg/Prager/Plagg) rather than the city. Sound-by-sound: (pǔ, 'general') = 'Pra-', (lā, 'to pull') = '-la-', (gé, 'pattern') = '-g'.
mistakes
Don't confuse with 布拉格 (Bùlāgé, 'Prague') — the first character is different even though the rest of the name is identical. (pǔ, 'general/wide') vs (bù, 'cloth').
