I almost always end up disagreeing with Victor Mair, including with much of what he says here, but here’s an interesting discussion of the slogan for the 2008 Beijing Olympics, which he argues was translated from English:
remarks on the slogan for the 2008 Beijing Olympics

The firm that ultimately came up with the winning proposal has the improbable name of China Click2 International Consulting, and it is headed by an American-Chinese woman named Susan Pattis.
