English Translation of Chinese Medicine Dosage in the Video Game Black Myth: Wukong

As the domestically produced AAA game—Black Myth: Wukong has sparked global discussion about Chinese mythology, the cultural influence of video games, a new form of entertainment, continues to spread world-widely. Therefore, accurately translating the Chinese elements within the game has become one of the keys to the international spreading of Chinese culture. This paper will focus on the English translation of four main types of Chinese medicine dosages in the game Black Myth: Wukong, analyzing the roles of phonetic transliteration and morphological transliteration in conveying Chinese medical culture which embodies the Chinese philosophy.
