Actually kamikaze you're slightly wrong with the von stuff. Mainly because you forget when germanic tribes occupied italy when they took over for awhile when rome fell. That term was incorparated into Italy when they had taken things over. It's the same mistake that another translator made when they translated another story i love. When the character names were clearly based off of italian names. But still mistranslated them being german in origin. Which if they bothered to look at a map the names were based off of. They would have realized they were rome descent, not german in influence and just lumped them all together and mess up the translations of one of the names on a anime adapation of a LN series. The example is kenja no mago and the character name was Sicily, not the other name that was given what some translators messed up on. I even contacted the people who translated it and they tried to blame it on the distributor gave them that info. When it was clear as day if they bothered to look at a map they were in the wrong. lol Also it's not like publishers or distributors haven't messed up before with an authors work. They sometimes changes stuff and not for the better for whatever reason. Unfortunately it could come down to politics, opinions, or even beliefs. Which shouldn't have a place in final decisions of an authors work.
