Forum:Vivre Card English Spelling

Given that we are about to have many new translations to old characters, I think it is best to have it discussed here while we're only dealing with a few. Now, its impotent to note that this discussion has already began elsewhere on this wiki, but given how more and more cases will appear I am moving it to this general discussion to make a ruling, and individual cases can be discussed either here or on the respective pages.

To the main topic: Should we use the spelling from the Vivre Card - One Piece Visual Dictionary?

Of course, this only apply for characters who have either multiple translated sources, or those with grammatical issues.

Examples of grammatical issues are:
 * The original discussion
 * Koshiro **https://twitter.com/EMUNOPLA/status/1036999126792249345

Examples of multiple translated sources are:
 * Chouchou:
 * File:SBS Vol 9 header.png
 * https://twitter.com/EMUNOPLA/status/1037003862278856710
 * Alvida

"Albida" is an obvious example of Engrish. In Chouchou's case wiki should keep to manga but Koshiro's new spelling is the only official one we have. Cdwp22 (talk) 17:41, September 4, 2018 (UTC)

Our source hierarchy dictates that the original manga and SBS have priority over databooks. 17:59, September 4, 2018 (UTC)

That what I was trying to avoid, this shouldn't be a collections of case by case. As for your comment, Alvida has two different spelling of the same source=same credibility, and Koshiro is a translation issue with double vowels, not a multiple sources. As for Chouchou, I think the SBS header are send by readers so the translation on them is far from credible. Rhavkin (talk) 18:04, September 4, 2018 (UTC)

As Kage said, if the card spelling conflicts with the manga/sbs we don't use it. If there are multiple spellings on the card itself, I would give preference to the one in the title section. Since we already use Alvida there shouldn't be any problem with leaving it as is. Anything else can and should be changed.

Also, Impostor Straw Hat Pirates was romanized as "Fake Straw Hat Crew". Haven't double-checked for any other romanizations, but that's another one as well. Kaido King of the Beasts (talk) 19:39, September 4, 2018 (UTC)

SBS headers were drawn by Oda before Volume 50. 19:57, September 4, 2018 (UTC)

SBS is guaranteed to be done by Oda. Databooks aren't. Koshiro should only be changed since it's the only time it has actually been romanized. SeaTerror (talk) 20:30, September 4, 2018 (UTC)

I still think databooks are secondary compared to manga and SBS. Like Green Databook, it vaguely said Sabo's dead, and he's alive. 23:18, September 4, 2018 (UTC)

Actually Green never said that. It said it from Luffy's perspective. SeaTerror (talk) 02:31, September 5, 2018 (UTC)

I too say we refer to the hierarchy. Manga and SBS take priority over databooks. 04:26, September 5, 2018 (UTC)
