Yup. xD

I've been thinking that, instead of focusing on translations, we should focus on the original Japanese name, and pick a single translated spelling for said name to use consistently within the wiki.

For example, titles of works should be spelled as the primary English distributor does it, or the original Japanese author in case it provides an English spelling; so Wall Sina, Goodbye would be left as such.

However, for in-universe stuff like names of characters, objects, places, etc, we pick a single spelling for each of them, the one given by the highest source, and use it everywhere no matter if they are depicted in different media and translated with different spellings in each of them.

For instance, Eren's original name in Japanese is Eren Yēgā (or エレン・イェーガー, whatever...), and the translation given by Kodansha for said name is "Eren Yeager". So, it doesn't matter if other sources translate it as Eren Jaeger, Eren Zeager, Zunpen Dunpen or anything else; as long as the original Japanese name remains the same, we continue using the primary translation for said name, i.e. "Eren Yeager".

What do you think?
