Yo, chat is down for me (as usual) but I wanted to ask you something about MHFG item translations. I saw Ryenlee add a Rukodiora LR Carves table and saw some translations making we wonder what rules we should apply for it.

In this case it's about 極龍の黒石(Pole Dragon's Black Stone), aka Black Rukodiora Stone or Rukodiora Black Stone. It was translated as Rukodiora Stone, which is fine. But is there a standard way in which we should do this? Seeing as the items have no official translations and probably never will, should we stay more true to the kanjis?

Of course, unless examples exist in main series that are derived from similar kanji systems, we could stick to those I reckon.
