Research on Mongolian Translation of Terminologies for New Media

With the increasing development of the new media, the new terminologies related to the publication industries are sprouting, bringing about the critical issue on how to formulate and implement them in Mongolian. At present, there are trends that the translators adopt the new terminologies according to their own understandings, therefore, the terminologies of Mongolian characteristics are converted based on her lexicology as well as the transliteration of the foreign words in terms of its close approximation in Mongolian phonetic sound when it comes to the terminologies on the new media in society. However, the coexistence of different terms where two or more terminologies on the same phenomenon results in the inconsistency should be normalized and unified as well. This paper, based on the current situation where the existing translation of the terminology involving the new media is not standardized, puts forward the view that when introducing the new terminologies, we should analyze the objective reasons and stick to the principle that we not only make full use of the rich resources in the Mongolian lexicology, giving new meanings to the old words or creating new terms but also should we transliterate the foreign words if there are not corresponding counterparts in Mongolian regardless the fact that the arising terminologies on new media are novel concept yet constantly developing and the coexistence of different terminologies is on their way to the standardization.
