I'm not into some of the translations the NA has brought (Altria, Invictus Spiritus); but changing the translations here to be in accordance the the official NA translations sounds more like a benefit than a nuisance.

This just seems to be a rule placed to make sure that the translators here wouldn't get their feelings hurt when someone thinks that it'll be better to have the official English localization terms and translations overwrite their translated work :/

It's like the Altera/Attila case all over again. Everyone else in the world calls her Altera except for the small percentage of players on this Fandom who follow what is shown here like a gospel. Even the characters in the game call her Altera.

Attila is accurate, but that only depends on your preference on historical facts or the game. Like calling Sasaki 'Regend' (talk about hypocritical)

I honestly don't care because Wiki's aren't supposed to be the best place for accurate information; and there's no clear line to being correct when it comes down to translation and interpretation.

Also: F%$k the NA translations. I personally want Artoria/Altria's name to be translated Arturia.

Not gonna lie, but I like to note that one golden rule for any wiki (Wikipedia included despite it not being part of Fandom and its questionable reputation) is to strive for accuracy for the most part.

Not to mention official translations (as I happen to mentioned earlier) doesn't always have accuracy to be accounted for given how certain translations can be quite iffy.
