Double Seventh FestivalThe Double Seventh Festival， on the 7th day of the 7th lunar month， is a traditional festival full of romance. It often goes into August in the Gregorian calendar.This festival is in mid-summer when the weather is warm and the grass and trees reveal their luxurious greens. At night when the sky is dotted with stars， and people can see the Milky Way spanning from the north to the south. On each bank of it is a bright star， which see each other from afar. They are the Cowherd and Weaver Maid， and about them there is a beautiful love story passed down from generation to generation.Long， long ago， there was an honest and kind-hearted fellow named Niu Lang （Cowhand）。 His parents died when he was a child. Later he was driven out of his home by his sister-in-law. So he lived by himself herding cattle and farming. One day， a fairy from heaven Zhi Nu （Weaver Maid） fell in love with him and came down secretly to earth and married him. The cowhand farmed in the field and the Weaver Maid wove at home. They lived a happy life and gave birth to a boy and a girl. Unfortunately， the God of Heaven soon found out the fact and ordered the Queen Mother of the Western Heavens to bring the Weaver Maid back.With the help of celestial cattle， the Cowhand flew to heaven with his son and daughter. At the time when he was about to catch up with his wife， the Queen Mother took off one of her gold hairpins and made a stroke. One billowy river appeared in front of the Cowhand.

七夕节国外的叫法有好几种，有按照西方情人节的叫法翻译的，也有按照具体的日期翻译的，甚至还有直接音译的。
具体主要有以下几种叫法：
1、Chinese Valentine's Day，
西方情人节叫做Valentine's Day，为公历2月14日，而七夕节被称为中国的情人节，所以翻译上也就按照西方情人节的名称来命名了。
2、Double Seventh Day或者the Seventh Day of the Seventh Lunar Month，
七夕的日期是每年的农历七月初七，两个七的组合或者是七月七日的翻译就是这个叫法的来源。
3、Magpie Festival
magpie有“喜鹊”的意思，而七夕节的传说当中，这一天牛郎织女是要在鹊桥上相会的。鹊桥是无数的喜鹊在银河上搭起来的桥，七夕节被叫做喜鹊节其实不怎么准确。
4、Qixi Festival
直接音译，七夕两个字的拼音代表，根本不需要翻译。这种直译的方式不太常见，但是偶尔也会有。
除了中国之外，日本、韩国都是过七夕节的。
日本七夕：Tanabata
这个词也是七夕的意思，但指的是日本的七夕节。
日本的七夕节起源于咱们中国的七夕，七夕是中国的情人节，可是在日本，却和情人节沾不上什么边。和日本新年一样，七夕可以许愿，把心愿写在纸条上，然后挂在树上。
韩国七夕：Chilseok
韩国也过七夕，英文是：Chilseok，英文解释是：A Korean traditional festival which falls on the seventh day of the seventh month of the Korean lunisolar calendar。
意思就是阴阳节，韩国七月初七的一个传统节日。
七夕节最常用的英语叫法还是Chinese Valentine's Day，也就是中国情人节。这个叫法更加让人容易理解，尤其是面对西方人的时候，他们一下子就能明白这个节日的意义了。
这个就像周总理把梁山伯与祝英台翻译成中国的罗密欧与朱丽叶一样，是个很好的译法。
