RE: [WebAIM]: a translation question ...

The major problem is not the translation - it is putting the term into
whatever colloquial context is necessary for it to be fully understood.

There is a big market in teaching Business Chinese so you ought to be
able to find specialist dictionaries that translate this sort of term,
although you may then have copyright issues.  The real problem is in
translating continous prose.
