It’s why you were fired from Millie’s.

So the question is, should part of the translator’s job be changing source names to English names? (Serious question.)

Well, Crime & Punishment is probably not a good first book if all you have read is Harry Potter…
But I think names should be translated if their mening is important to the story. So I’m all for translation of superhero names. But of course not their civilian names.
So Batman should be Läderlappen in swedish, but his secret identity should still be Bruce Wayne, not Björn Wingård.

I say no, but that might be a legacy of stupid renamings of characters from 70s and 80s anime like Ken Washio in Gatchaman becoming Ace Goodheart in Battle of the Planets.

In original translation I saw in the 1970s, it was Mark. The names were more normal, but there was also the 7-Zark-7 nonsense.

My mistake, it was the 80’s dub of Gatchaman, titled G-Force that changed his name to Ace Goodheart.

I used to love that. I was, what, 10 years old? Doubt it would stand the test of time to go seek out those episodes, but good thoughts nonetheless.

I’ver driven past Crabby Dick’s in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware on many occasions; but for some reason I’ve never felt the need to stop there for dinner….
