[QUOTE="Couch Potato Wannabe, post: 2358556, member: 14066"]You need to change Google Translate over to Japanese, then it will translate to Orient.

Pin Yin is the writing of Chinese using a Romanised alphabet as a means of conveying the pronunciation of the characters. There are various forms of Pin Yin which can be applied. For instance, [SIZE=7]東洋[/SIZE] can also be written as dong yang, which has the same pronunciation as the earlier 'To Yo'.
