But Google Translate, like many translating machines, is not very reliable. The name of this lake in Chinese is ""太湖"", romanised, without spacing, to ""Taihu"". The second character (湖 hu) means ""lake"". The current title (Taihu Lake) as it stands is a pleonasm; it essentially is ""Tai Lake Lake"". this is similar for the mountain ranges. Huangshan (黄山), not Huangshan Mountains, as that is again a pleonasm; the second character here (山 shan) means ""mountain"". So don't listen to the IP above. And also, keep in mind that a mainline Google search alone is inadvisable (see WP:GOOGLE), though, as you stated, this ratio is overwhelming. —HXL's Roundtable and Record "
