Shirley Lao Nov 30, 2007:
Although 民国94年 is the 94th year of the ROC, it is usually translated as a year in the western calender, particularly when it is accompanied by the month and the date. You can refer to the ROC's government websites.

民国 was founded in 1991. So you have to add 1991 to 94 to make 2005.

Should be :

民国 was founded in 1911. So you have to add 1911 to 94 to make 2005.

1912 was considered to be the first year of the ROC (民国元年). So 民国 94 should be 2005.

As mentioned by Shirley Lao, 民国 was founded in 1911. But there is a calculation mistake there.

1911 is called 民国元年, and 1912 is called 民国二年, so 民国94年shall be 1911+93=2004
