Abstract

As international trade and multinational companies have a further development, how to translate product instruction from the source language to the target language consumers to realize the original meaning and function deserves special attention. This paper tries to study the translation principles of products instructions from the perspective of the Skopos Theory, which is the core of the Functionalism. This paper chooses "equifunctional" translation as instruction strategy, and then puts forward three translation principles, hopefully, which will help the translation of product instructions.
