The embodiment of the invention discloses a data recording method and a data recording device. The method comprises the steps of: identifying a data type recorded by target data which is required to be subject to field translation; selecting a pre-configured translation rule matched with data type, according to the selected translation rule and the value of the position of each field in a target data record, and translating to obtain a new field value; and adding the new field value obtained by the translation to a position indicated by the selected translation rule in the target data record. According to the data recording method, the field in the data record can be translated according to the pre-configured translation rule, a complicated translation code is not required to be written, and portability is good.
