Chinese cuisine plays an important role in everyday life owing to extremely prosperous culture. The English translation of Chinese dish names in cross-cultural communication is of vital importance, especially with the global popularity of Chinese cuisine.

The paper is based on a brief introduction to the language style and properties of English translation of Chinese dish names. The uniqueness of eight major cuisines is regarded as a representative research object. According to the analysis of the linguistic style and main properties of English translations in Chinese dish names based on eight major cuisines, the effectiveness in cross-cultural communication is explored.
