does that mean the names are in different languages?

 

[Jerre]

Yeah. They have French, German, Korean and other languages of the names. But most of the other languages are in English too. But i don't really know what a Romanization is.

 

[ellie]

It basically means translating the Japanese name. I believe that Buizeru is just the rough romanization, wheras Buoysel is how you would pronounce it.

Romanization means to translate into Roman letters (our alphabet). Japanese uses different letters than we do, obviously, so there's never a "right" way to write a Japanese word using our alphabet.

Hebrew is similar--you can spell Hanukkah a dozen different ways and you'd still be right, because it's a romanization of a Hebrew word.
