Talk:Vorona

I would like to debate the title for "Varona's" page. I speak both Japanese and Russian and I can tell you that "Varona" is not the correct translation. Katakana is meant to pronounce the words correctly. So therefore, the 'ヴァ" is only for the purpose of proper pronunciation, NOT spelling. If you want to translate the Russian cyrillic to an English format, it would indeed be "Vorona" with an 'o' instead of an 'a.' So I propose that the recent edit is nullified and re-edited back to "Vorona."

This is of course while keeping in mind that the English version has spelt her name incorrectly. This isn't the first time the English dub has screwed something up like this, Egor's name being mispronounced in the newest episodes is a prime example (And especially if you speak Russian, I might add that it is painfully different). To do the series and the character justice, I think it would be best to go for the actual spelling. CarmineQueen (talk) 17:44, April 18, 2015 (UTC)

In my opinion it isn't so much about what the 'correct' translation of the word is, as much as the official. I don't like pronunciations in most english dubs, but I'm fairly certain that's a different issue, a voice actor issue. For Varona, Sloan, Egor, those are the official english spellings, even if we may not like some of them. If a character had their name romanised to a nontraditional spelling, that would still be the official way to spell it, the same as if someone spelled their name in a way you're not used to in real life. Unless the official translation changes, we should keep with what is canon I believe, and take it as simply a quirk. I'd like to hear an admin opinion, but that's mine.

Ask and ye shall recieve. personally, I agree with ShikiAwakusu in regards to which name to use. The offiical translations are what we will use for this wiki. that being said though, I do prefer to refer to read Vorona's name as the actual word is said.

Fair enough, though it is a shame they do not take the time to properly translate. I feel like it would just give the series so much more character and unique appeal. I do hope they change it to the proper spelling someday. Thank you for the input you two!
