Summary

Description
English: A tour bus in Yangzhou. It is common for the tour bus companies to have their name written in the direction from the front of the bus to its rear - which means that while on left side of the bus, the Chinese characters run from left to right, on the right side (pictured) they run from right to left. This presents somewhat of a challenge: what to do with the English version of the company name? This company has chosen a somewhat unusual (but by no means unique in this trade) solution.
中文(简体):一辆扬州的旅游巴士。把旅游巴士公司的名字从车头写到车尾很常见——这意味着左侧的汉字从左写到右,右侧的汉字从右写到左。这样似乎有一个麻烦:怎样处理公司的英文名?这个公司选择了一种很不寻常(但无论如何都不是独一无二的)的解决方法。
Deutsch: Ein Tourbus (des Herstellers "Anhui.Kässbohrer") in Yangzhou, VR China. Üblich ist, dass die Busunternehmen ihren Namen in Schreibrichtung von der Front zum Heck des Fahrzeugs schreiben. Also an der linken Fahrzeugseite von links nach rechts, jedoch an der rechten Fahrzeugseite (hier abgebildet) von rechts nach links (RTL = right to left). Die einzelnen chinesischen Schriftzeichen bleiben dabei unverändert, werden also nicht gespiegelt. Die Umschrift (für die ersten zwei Zeichen) und die Übersetzung des Rests des Firmennamens (korrekt: Foreign Affairs ... Company) in Lateinschrift erfolgt hier an der rechten Busseite ebenfalls in Schreibrichtung (Anordnung unveränderter Buchstaben) RTL. Das ist zwar unüblich, doch kommt vor.
