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.

Countries

Suomus Suomus/Suomen (Nouns) Suomi (?)
Fuso Fuso Empire
Karlsland Karlsländer Karlslaendisch Karlsländer
Britannia Marine State Britannia Britannian Britannian Britannian
Liberion United States of Liberion Liberian Britannian  Liberian

The junk for Suomus (and Fuso) 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.
