Character analysis of military terms can reflect the composition and laws of character application in military field. Based on the quantitative investigation on the 2011 edition Military Terms of PLA, we found that the characters of military terms are commonly used Chinese characters, which means that military terms are basically in accordance with the simple principle for name.

Endotension is a critically important complication in endovascular aortic aneurysm repairs, which is translated into “neizhangli”.

“dianshang” as the abbreviation of “dianzishangwu” appeared on the media frequently. Researchers believe that the meaning of “dianshang” is not clear and cannot be used as the abbreviation of “dianzishangwu”. In fact, as the rule of abbreviation is complex and the reason of abbreviating is diverse, people's understanding of morpheme meaning may change with the development of social life. However, if the original words lack the core morpheme with tips for the meaning of words, the abbreviating mechanism can also rely on voice to promote words. To evaluate the standardization of abbreviations, we should pay special attention to the internal basic rules of language structure, and cannot ignore people's pragmatic choice. Therefore, “dianzishangwu” short for “dianshang” may be acceptable.

With the deepening of China's reform and opening policy and the speeding up of globalization, the China's industries are facing problems of dealing with a country or several countries. In this process, translation, especially multilingual translation is becoming very important and necessary. However, this kind of multilingual translation research has already been done in Western countries but very little in China. This paper mainly gives a discussion on the following problems: (1) equivalence problem in common language in multilingual translation, (2)equivalence problem in languages for special purposes in multilingual translation, (3)how to deal with concept equivalence problems in languages for special purposes in multilingual translation.
