Japanese term translation
[edit]Does anyone have an idea to translate 政令指定都市 to English? -- Taku
- Long: "Cities designated by government ordinance" [1]; short: "Government Ordinance City" [2]. --Menchi 03:43, 7 Oct 2003 (UTC)
- Thank very much. I googled but couldn't find good one. -- Taku
A couple of more
- 中核市
- 特例市
- 地方公共団体
They are terms related to Japanese cities and local governments. -- Taku
- 中核市 = "core city" [3], [4]. You may already knew this, if not it may interest you: A Japanese core city must be over 300,000 in population, and 100 km² in area. A Chinese source
- The Nippon Foundation Library's glossary translates 特例市 as "special case city".
- I cannot find Japanese reference, but a Hong Kong online .doc says 地方公共團體 is "local authorities", and a Mainland Chinese webpage say it is "local self-government".

Thanks a lot. Particularly, a website http://nippon.zaidan.info/seikabutsu/2000/00086/contents/188.htm glossary seems really good place to find out translation terms. -- Taku
I think it can be translated into English as ?????? :-) dave 01:33, 16 Oct 2003 (UTC)
