I won't name names, and you shouldn't look into it, for my sake. But let's just say, in the previous translation issue, that game suffered a massive translation wreck (though some parts were admittedly clever). The fan translators got on it, and it splits into two factions; one that insisted on Direct Translation techniques, and one that insisted on Oblique Translation technique.

The DT faction argues that since some names are legitimate words in other foreign languages, they want to translate it in accordance to those language. In case of Japanese to English, they wanted to translate them directly without flair to minimize. The OT faction argues that 'uniqueness' can be accepted considering the setting (and because sometimes, the translated results got too long), and choose to translate names and terms in a way that still has the essence of its original form.

They eventually reached an impasse by using the concept of 'Also Known As'.
