Any chinese speakers in the house?

I need a Chinese translation for "Dragon's Teeth".

According to Google Translate (romanizations are the same):
(simplified)
龙的牙齿
Lóng de yáchǐ

(traditional)
龍的牙齒
Lóng de yáchǐ

However the more semantically likely 'Teeth of the Dragon' is:
(simplified)
齿龙
Chǐ lóng

(traditional)
齒龍
Chǐ lóng

That's not a nice name to call your wife, Greg.

I need a Chinese translation for "Dragon's Teeth".

Just "Lóng Yá" (龍牙).

If you mean the anti-tank fortification variety, we usually just call them "Fan Zhan Che Zhang Ai Wu" (反戰車障礙物) by the role they play; "Zhan Che" is traditional Chinese for "tank", and "Tan Ke" (坦克) is the simplified Chinese counterpart.

EDIT: Henry Yeh's reply reminded me to include the simplified Chinese characters for "tank".

[Henry Yeh]

Mainland China does not use 戰車, citing it to be too non-specific.

齒龍 is grammatically incorrect. It's actually a type of dinosaur. People might think you're trying to stop tanks with this:

It's not a tank or even related - just a very, vicious aircraft.  So where does that leave me re names?

Mainland China had avoided giving names to their equipments until recently, and even then it's for export only; whereas Taiwan tend to use some REAL tacky political slogans. Singapore tends to use adjetives instead of nouns that sound eloquent both in Chinese and English.

This one is mainland Chinese and is for the future.

When naming weapon systems, don't make it overly sophisticated; otherwise, you'll leave the typical enlisted men (who are the "intellectual rejects" of the society) scratching their pinheads.
Something REAL tacky, like Thunderbolt, Flying Dragon, or Fierce Tiger, will do just fine for the sons of rice farmers as well as inner city high school drop outs.

A frustrated teacher working in a state where some ethnic groups have as much as 65% drop out rate.

If you knew my wife (who was nicknamed "Weapon of Mass Destruction" whilst she was in the RAAF), you know I wouldn't be that silly.
