They're still wrong — names do not translate between English-speaking countries, even if they spell a word differently that is also a name. Sadly, the only person I can think of named Gray or Grey is Christian Grey, of Fifty Shades of Grey. Calling him "Christian Gray" or the book "Fifty Shades of Gray" just because you're an American is wrong. See also, Culture Club's Colour by Numbers album, which is not called "Color by Numbers" in the US. We do localise and translate from other languages, though. Many anime, for example, are called something else in Japan. One of my favourite examples is Boku Dake ga Inai Machi, which literally translates to "The Town in Which Only I Am Missing," but is more commonly called "The Town Without Me". Outside Japan, it's called Erased. A simpler one is Shingeki no Kyojin, or "Giants Advance" or "Advance of the Titans", which, as you can guess, is called Attack on Titan in English. Then you have Boku no Hero Academia, which uses its literal translation, "My (young male speaker) Hero Academia". "Watashi no Hero Academia" would also translate to the same, but would imply they're college age/professional. "Ore no Hero Academia" would work if they were punks or delinquents — Boku, Watashi, and Ore are just pronouns that refer to social status, they all translate roughly to "Me" or "My" in English. But again, names don't translate. permalink fedilink source parent [–] moondoggie@lemmy.world 2 points 19 hours ago And a healthy dose of Writing Rainbow permalink fedilink source parent
