Talk:Roble Holy Kingdom/@comment-29544173-20191230043030

Hello members of the Overlord Wiki.

Just recently we discovered a Amazon page of the Yen Press translation of Volume 12. In it The Roble Holy Kingdom is written as the Sacred Kingdom. The Wiki has decided to keep the name the same as before. We disagree with the translation choice Yen Press has made and will not be changing it or the Sorcerer Kingdom page title. While we respect the translator known as Tiger we do feel that the choices made were poor and not respectful to the community who watched the Anime and found that the subtitles and the Dub either refered to it as the Roble Holy Kingdom or quite simply the Holy Kingdom. Same goes for the Sorcerer Kingdom which was described in the sub and Dub as clearly Sorcerer. Tiger claims that Maruyama has said that her translations are correct. This is incorrect. Maruyama said that she was wrong but was polite about it to maintain respect so his words could have been misinterpreted. Any attempts to change the names to the Yen Press versions will result in a revert to the original title.

Allow me to say that we do appreciate Yen Press's efforts to bring the Overlord Light Novel to English speaking countries and making Maruyama more money in the process. However, the translation choices by Tiger and Yen Press are not faithful to the Novels themselves. Thank you and rememeber to please be respectful and have fun editing the wiki.
