Romanization of 中帝国
I notice someone has been changing Chinese Empire to Chun Empire. Is there a need for that? China in the modern world isn't actually called China in Japanese or its native tougue either. By that logic of romanization, 日本 should Nippon instead of Japan.UnknownOrigin 08:06, June 18, 2011 (UTC)


 * I vote there's no need for it. 76.169.38.22 08:09, June 18, 2011 (UTC)


 * I'm personally quite divided on the issue, but slightly tending towards favoring Nippon over Japan. It might be something worth a deeper discussion involving more people who care. -Afker All hail AliceSoft! 08:19, June 18, 2011 (UTC)
 * Since no one else is replying, i will start the discussion here. Using Japan/Nippon wasn't a good example. Let's take say... 人類統合組織ソビエト. Would it better to call it Soviet or Sobieto? Perhaps you could argue that all katagana should be translated to english but what about the United Human Organization part? Should it be Jinrui-tōgō-soshiki instead? On the other hand, Chun means middle, so should Chinese Empire be translated to Middle Empire (I know some places that do this). The way I see it, we should stick with English translation when possible as this is a wiki for english readers and should assume to have limited knowledge of Japanese (especially kanji).UnknownOrigin 22:39, June 20, 2011 (UTC)
