I don't think Pine is correct for three reasons: 1) Translating names is unnecessary and confusing, if it's a pun we could always add a 'Trivia' part to the unit page like what the ZH wiki does, but if we translate it then it's going to be difficult to know which unit we are talking about. Katakana is easy to read, and for people who don't know japanese and want to know how an unit is called, it's easier to check the katakana characters than trying to guess how we translated it. (of course searching with the unit number is easier, but just in case) 2) Even if the Kanji that could have been used would most probably be the one for Pine, we can't tell for sure, as there are other "Matsu" in japanese 3) We might get an unit really called Pine in the future.

Hum I guess we could put the original names for skills too, but I don't see how this could be useful enough to make such a huge edit worth it, except for active skills. But I think we need to do like the ZH wiki for these ones and make individual AS pages, or at least make all AS names in unit pages link to the part of their respective type on the AS page we already have. Right now it can be easy to forget or miss that one unit can be used to level up the AS of another unit.

When I do the enemy skills part, I tend to forget putting the original names of skills written in katakana, since I figured it would be the same thing, but now that you said it I realise it was a mistake, sorry. I will edit the older pages and be sure to not forget it next time I work on Technical quests.

One point I would like to bring is the translating conventions for the titles: sometimes we have '[Unit Name], the [Title]', and other times it's '[Title] [Name]', but in japanese it's written the same way ('[Title] [Name]'). So whenever we choose to do like the JP names, or use '[Unit Name], the [Title]' because it sounds more natural for us, I think we need to stick with one for all names with titles.
