GB/T 17693.5-1999

This standard provides the rules for transliterating Spanish geographical names into Chinese characters, ensuring consistency in how place names from Spanish-speaking regions are rendered in Chinese. It is applied by cartographers, translators, and government agencies when producing maps, official documents, or databases that require standardized Chinese versions of Spanish-language place names. The guidelines help avoid confusion in international communication, geographic referencing, and cross-cultural information exchange.
