Directions for translation may in principle apply to all languages or may be language-specific. General guidelines for all languages are discussed in a separate document. Special guidelines which apply to Zhezhong Yuyan (普通话) in particular are dealt with here.

The syllable nǎn is used to express the terms of the N-A-series of neutralistic morphemes in Zhezhong Yuyan. In the table below this syllable is provisionally represented by the character 戁, which is pronounced in the same way. The character 他 with the radical for an (upright) human being or person should be used in a gender-transcending way only, and not to denote a male exclusively. A hyphen indicates a syllable division in the present alphabet and in Pinyin it is shown where it serves clarity. (No apostrophe is used.)

The term Metric (World) Calendar may be translated as 公制世界日历 (Gōngzhì Shìjiè Rìlì) or as 公世日历 (Gōng Shì Rìlì). The system for naming the thirteen Metric months can be the same as the numerical system used for naming the months of traditional, lunar and solar calendars in Zhezhong Yuyan. If confusion is to be avoided, (公)世 may be added, as in (公)世十一月 (Gōng Shì Shíyīyuè).
