Also... the almanac entry states, that she is a witch (女巫). And about translating, Translators shouldn't translate word after word. But take the overall. They can use synonyms, right? You have a point there. Also, Small Chestnut Team should be renamed to Chestnut Squad. I agree with you about Chestnut Squad ;)

And about my earlier saying. There some examples. When translating the game, the translators should see, if the original name is correct for some language. For example Pokemon series. Many attacks aren't the same in the English and Japanese version. Remember the attack "Self-destruct", in the Japanese version is called "Suicide Bombing". The same thing is with "Oblivion Wing" ("Death Wing" in Japanese).

So... Pineapple will become Spineapple? No. China doesn't use portmanteaus. UGH, "Chinese has no puns." sterotype again, actually, they use in many plants in Chinese name, but translate back to Chinese is same as English so people think there is no portmanteaus, again, cherry bomb peach bomb and wallnut bomb are totally not releated in species, but they all have a word "桃" in the name so they use it as upgrade, one thing I really disargee with someone is just use the name people use the most, okay, make sense but yo, you now make a Chingish, Engrish, whatever, ok, people believe in something wrong, but it just fine, I NEED MYTHBUSTER RIGHT NOW, wait, Mythbuster is for science, nevermind, clever move, "nice", clever move when the time that still can correct people's believe.(actually at very first I tried to change the name but, wait, people change it back again and lock the page name, how reasonable.)
