Westminster Abbey译文主要有二个版本，威斯敏斯特教堂或西敏寺。目前没有在两种版本中选择固定的译法，所以都可以接受。Westminster Abbey是正式称谓，一些英语网站上以Westminster Abby作为简写，因为根据其读音在口语中较为常用，如以下这个对话：A: Hey dude, wonna go to westminster abby? （哥们，想去西敏寺？）B: Sure. （那是。）所以Westminster Abby在一般语境下都可以接受。其实就相当于我们中文中的一些简称，如“娱记”=“娱乐记者”，“北大”=“北京大学”，诸如此类。但是正式场合还是建议说全称Westminster Abbey，如查找资料时输入Westminster Abbey会获得更多更全的信息（在Encyclopedia Britannica上输入Westminster Abby就没有结果）。所以，这只是习惯成自然，可以说是语言在某些语境下的简化与变体，不存在正确与错误之分，只是看被接受的情况而定。
