Translation issues
Foreign words
Words in other languages will be used where appropriate when characters would logically be speaking in their own language. This mainly goes for character speech, but I'll probably change things and just give a translation if it gets needlessly awkward. I will keep ranks in their respective languages until the entire squadron meets up and starts speaking in Britannian.
Some issues - in Chap 1, it've been a bit inconsistent, and just used translated terms, like Imperial Ground Forces, but kept ranks and things as Chuu-sa, etc. Need to do something about that.
Ranks

---|---|---|---|---|
Character | Rank | Abbr | Rank (Britannian) | Abbr (Brit.) |
Elma | Luutnantti | Ltn. | Flying Officer | F/O |
Tomoko | Shou-i | --- | Pilot Officer | P/O |
Beurling | Pilot Officer | P/O | Pilot Officer | P/O |
Katharine | Lieutenant | Lt. | Pilot Officer | P/O |
Ursula | Feldwebel | --- | Flight Sergeant | F/S |
Haruka | Ittou Hikou Heisou | Ichi-hisou | Flight Sergeant | F/S |
Countries
Countries | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|
Country | Full name | Adjective | Language | Nationality |
Suomus | Suomus/Suomen (Nouns) | Suomi (?) | ||
Fuso | Fuso Empire | Fuso | ||
Karlsland | Karlsländer | |||
Britannia | Marine State Britannia | Britannian | Britannian | Britannian |
Liberion | United States of Liberion | Liberian | Britannian | Liberian |
The junk for Suomus needs to be decided, since the entire novel takes place there. Use Suomi, like in the actual world? Or make something up like Suomis/Suomese/Suomish/Suoman.
