2.2.6. Географічні назви
Відомі географічні назви мають традиційні українські відповідники, що нерідко зафіксовані у перекладних словниках і які перекладач повинен знати: Texas Texac, Great Britain - Великобританія (зараз все вживанішим стає відповідник "Велика Британія"), New Hampshire - Нью Гемпшир, Oakland - Окленд, Rhode Island - Род-Айленд, the Alps - Альпи, the Ganges -Ганг, Iceland - Ісландія тощо. Менш відомі географічні назви не завжди мають сталі відповідники або й жодних відповідників, що зафіксовані у перекладних словниках. У таких випадках рекомендується застосовувати спосіб практичної транскрипції із елементами транслітерування, що дозволяє досить точно ідентифікувати оригінальну графічну форму географічної назви: Galway - Гелвей, Alverno -Алверно, Ithaca - Ітака, Richfield - Річфілд, Wood-Lake - Вуд-Лейк, Dirty Devil - (річка) Дерті Девіл тощо.
Іншомовні географічні назви, що вживаються в англійських текстах, також мають певні українські відповідники: Munich - Мюнхен, Leghorn -Ліворно, Tromso - Тромсе, Antwerp - Антверпен, Trondheim - Тронгейм, Ruhr - Рур, Budapest - Будапешт, Wroclaw - Вроцлав, Kiel - Кіль, Ghent -Гент, Mexico-City - Мехіко, Aarhus - Opxyc тощо.

2.3. Загальний елемент у складі назв
і Деякі власні імена складаються частково або повністю з загальних слів, наприклад: Red Sea - Червоне море, Pacific Ocean - Тихий океан. Такі назви, як правило, перекладаються на українську мову: the United Kingdom - З'єднане Королівство, Department of Technology - технологічний факультет (але є деякі винятки, наприклад, the English Channel - Ла-Манш).
Загальні слова, що входять до складу назв, які містять крім того власні імена, перекладаються чотирма основними способами (а власні імена в них транскрибуються або передаються існуючими українськими відповідниками):
Загальний елемент перекладається: North Dakota - Північна Дако-та, AdmiraltyIslands- Адміралтейські острови, StraitofGibraltar- Гібралтарська протока (або: протока Гібралтар), William the Conquerer - Вільгельм-завойовник. Найчастіше такий спосіб застосовується у перекладі складних географічних назв, що містять такі загальні слова, як mountains, gulf, lake, sea, ocean тощо. Якщо ж загальне слово вжито у складі назви не у своєму прямому значенні, то воно не перекладається, а транскрибується: Black Island- Блек-Айленд (місто у США), RockSprings- Рок-Спрингс (місто в Австралії).
Загальний елемент транскрибується, якщо у транскрибованій формі він достатньо відомий користувачеві перекладу: Carson City - Карсон-Сіті, Kansas City - Канзас-Сіті.
Загальний елемент і перекладається, і транскодується одночасно: Rocky Mountain - гора Рокі-Маунтин, the Grand River - ріка Гранд-Рівер, Bull Lake - озеро Булл-Лейк, Firth of Clyde - затока Ферт-оф-Клайд.
Загальний елемент додається до назви: theStandardOil- нафтова компанія Стандард Ойл. Цей спосіб застосовується тоді, коли власна назва в англійському тексті вжита без загального елементу або коли загальний елемент є часткою назви.
