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. Oh yeah. Not because no portmanteaus, but because Pineapple IS its actual name, but I still think that Spineapple is better, and it's the best one we've got.
