This standard provides the specific rules and conventions for transliterating German geographical names into Chinese characters. It is applied by cartographers, translators, and publishers in China to ensure consistent and accurate rendering of German place names on maps, in official documents, and in geographic databases. The guidelines help avoid confusion from multiple transliteration variants, particularly in contexts like international relations, travel literature, and academic geography.
