Update the names of some of the Japanese-exclusive items
There are 110 items from, , and that do not have official translations since they do not appear in  (see Category:Items with no English localization). Nookipedia and the ACGC Spreadsheet are currently using the most literal possible translations. However, and I were reviewing some of the original community translation choices in the spreadsheets server, and we feel that it would make sense to tweak some of these literal translations into alternate but equally valid translations that reflect the item's localized name in later game entries.

The items in Category:Items with no English localization can be generalized into 4 groups:
 * 1) The item reappears in a later game entry. Its translation on Nookipedia is different from a later game entry. (46 items)
 * 2) The item reappears in a later game entry. Its translation on Nookipedia is already identical to its name in a later game entry. (31 items)
 * 3) The item does not reappear in a later game entry. (27 items)
 * 4) The item does not exactly fit in the previous 3 groups due to major changes with the Japanese name/design in later game entries. (6 items)

For this discussion, only group 1 will be addressed. Group 2 does not need to be addressed. Groups 3 and 4 may be worth reviewing at a later date, but they will not be reviewed right now. (See the next section for a list of items that will not be addressed in this discussion.) Here are the 46 items that could have their names updated. Feel free to add your opinion underneath any item.

Item #1: Alcove → Tokonoma
The literal translation of this item is "alcove" (とこのま, ). While "alcove" is not an inaccurate translation, "tokonoma" is an accepted encyclopedic term and would make for an overall better translation that matches the localized name in later game entries.

The current name is fine. Normally I would support changing the name to the localized one, but the current name already happens to match the unused internal name.

Item #2: Apple Cardboard → Apple Cardboard Box
ダンボール (danbōru) literally translates to "cardboard." Visually, the item looks like a cardboard box, although the original Japanese name does not specify the "box" part. The localization does include the "box" part.

"Cardboard Box" is a better name, because it is more specific in describing the identity of the item.

Item #3: Mandarin Cardboard → Mandarin Cardboard Box, Tangerine Cardboard Box, or Orange Cardboard Box
Like with the previous item (item #2), visually, the item looks like a cardboard box, although the original Japanese name does not specify the "box" part. There is a gray area when it comes to translating the first part of the name, みかん (mikan). "" can be translated as several things, including "mandarin (orange)," "tangerine," or "orange." Mandarins and tangerines are types of oranges, and mandarins and tangerines are almost identical fruits with a very slight difference. Of small note, the fruit changed from mikan to orange between and  (in the Japanese versions only); still, the fruit of the  item in is a mikan. Tangerines and mandarins are slightly different fruits from the fruit generically referred to as "oranges," which the localization fails to capture by simply calling the item the "orange" variant.

Between "Mandarin Cardboard Box," "Tangerine Cardboard Box," and "Orange Cardboard Box," I vote for "Tangerine Cardboard Box." To be honest, I'm a bit biased, because when I first learned the word "mikan," I was taught that it meant "tangerine." But as of writing this comment, when I googled the translations for "mikan," the majority of the results seem to be "mandarin (orange)." Anyways, I still feel that "Tangerine" is the best choice of the three, because it avoids any confusion that could be associated with the Mandarin Chinese dialect, and orange as a color of the rainbow. Either way, I think it is better to be slightly more accurate in choosing either "Tangerine" or "Mandarin," even if it contradicts the localization of "mikan" as "orange." Like I mentioned in the previous item, I think that "Cardboard Box" is a better name, because it is more specific in describing the identity of the item.

Item #4: Spring Championship Pennant → Spring Champion's Pennant
The literal translation of this item is "spring championship pennant" (はるのゆうしょうき, haru no yuushouki), sharing its base name, yuushouki (ゆうしょうき) with the item. However, the localization opts to translate yuushouki as "champion's pennant" rather than as "championship pennant."

The current name sounds fine, and the new name slightly changes the original meaning.

Item #5: Autumn Championship Pennant → Fall Championship Pennant, Fall Champion's Pennant, or Autumn Champion's Pennant
あきのゆうしょうき (aki no yuushouki) literally translates to either "fall championship pennant" or "autumn championship pennant." This item should technically have "Fall" in its name rather than "Autumn" due to the community vote in Talk:Fall; if a community translation must opt between "fall" and "autumn," then it should opt for "fall," per the previous community vote. Furthermore, it is obtained from the "Fall Sports Fair." However, one thing that contradicts this naming scheme is that there is an item called in  that is similarly obtained from the Fall Sports Fair. It would make sense to continue using the "Autumn" naming scheme for consistency with the localization of this similar item. Also, like mentioned in the previous item (item #4), the base name, ゆうしょうき (yuushouki), was localized as "champion's pennant" in.

The current usage of "autumn" is fine due to the existence of the similar item in with the "autumn" naming scheme. Also, changing "championship pennant" to "champion's pennant" slightly alters the original meaning, so the change isn't needed.

Item #6: Barricade → Saw Horse, Sawhorse, or Safety Barrier
The Japanese item name, "barricade" (バリケード, barikēdo), has been consistent throughout all entries, but its design changed at the same time the item was localized in the English version of. Its design revert back to its original design in.

As much as I would like to use one of the localized names in this scenario, I think it is better to leave the name unchanged, since all 3 localizations change the meaning of the original Japanese name. Plus, the current name happens to match the unused internal name.

Item #7: Basketball Goal → Basketball Hoop
The literal translation of this item is "basketball goal" (バスケットのゴール, basuketto no gōru), although the identity of this item is commonly known as a "basketball hoop."

I like that the new name matches the localized name for consistency. It's also more accurate in describing the identity of the item.

Item #8: Bass Boat-Wrap Sushi → Bass Boat or Bass Sushi Platter
The literal translation of this item is "bass boat-wrap sushi" (バスのふなもり, basu no funamori), sharing its base name, funamori (ふなもり) with the item. However, the localization opts to translation funamori as "sushi platter" rather than as "boat-wrap sushi."

As much as I would like to use either the localized name or unused internal name in this scenario, I think it is better to leave the name unchanged, as "boat-wrap sushi" is more specific than either of the new names.

Item #9: Bath Chairs → Spa Chairs or Bath Stools
The literal translation of this item is "bath chair," although neither localization calls it as such. Japanese does not make a distinction between singular and plural nouns, which is why the localization prior to calls it a singular chair rather than multiple chairs. However, the item is a singular chair, making it clear that the item is actually a stack of multiple chairs prior to.

As much as I would like to use either of the localized names in this scenario, I think it is better to leave the name unchanged, since "Spa Chairs" is not an accurate translation, and there isn't much benefit in using the "Bath Stools" translation. The current name is technically an amalgamate of both existing localizations, so it's probably fine to leave it alone.

Item #10: Bathhouse Tile Floor → Bath Tile
お風呂場 (おふろば, ofuruba) translates to either "bathhouse" or "bathroom," while the root of the word, 風呂 (ふろ, furu) translates to "bath." The literal translation of this item is either "bathhouse tile floor" or "bathroom tile floor," but the localization opts for a much shorter name, "Bath Tile."

As much as I would like to use the localized name in this scenario, I think it is better to leave the name unchanged.

Item #11: Bean-Throwing Set → Bean Set or Bean-Tossing Kit
豆まきセット (まめまきセット, mamemaki setto) literally translates to "bean-throwing set," "bean-scattering set," "bean-sowing set," and such. The item in is a furniture rather than a tool like in  and, and it has a slightly different design, with the red oni mask as decoration. However, the and  items have identical Japanese names, which is worth taking into consideration, since  provides a true localization for the item in question.

The current name is fine and is already pretty similar to the unused internal name.

Items #12 and #13: Beckoning (Black) Cat → Lucky (Black) Cat
In Japanese, these are called , which literally means "beckoning cat," but they are usually called "lucky cat" in English, as was done in later games.

As much as I would like to use the localized names in this scenario, I think it is better to leave the names unchanged. While the item in question does bring good luck, changing "beckoning cat" to "lucky cat" somewhat changes the original name meaning. However, I have to concede that "lucky cat" is the most common way to refer to the item.

Item #14: Big-Haul Flag → Big Catch Flag, Big-Catch Flag, or Fishing-Boat Flag
The literal translation of this item is "big-catch flag." can be read as either たいりょうばた (tairyou bata) or たいりょうき (tairyou ki). たいりょう (tairyou) means "big catch," while ばた (bata) and き (ki) both mean "flag" or "banner." Essentially, they are the same word in Japanese, so despite the design change, it is considered the same item. In, the first variant is described as "大漁" (tairyou), as that is the most prominent kanji on the flag. However, the localization of the first variant is "Nintenmaru - Big Catch," which includes the transliteration of some smaller kanji on the flag; the reason for the localizers doing this, despite the original Japanese variant name not including "Nintenmaru" whatsoever, was so it would have a consistent naming scheme with the other English variant names. Anyways, the localization uses both "fishing boat" and "big catch" when it comes to translating the word tairyou. While the flag is technically attached to fishing boats, "fishing boat" is a less direct translation than "big catch."

Between "Big Catch Flag," "Big-Catch Flag," and "Fishing-Boat Flag," I vote for "Big-Catch Flag," since "big catch" matches one of the localizations and is equally valid with the current translation, "big haul." "Big-Catch Flag" is grammatically preferable to "Big Catch Flag" because "big catch" is a noun being used as an adjective to describe the flag.

Item #15: Cabriole-Leg Bathtub → Clawfoot Bathtub or Claw-Foot Tub
猫足バスタブ (ねこあしバスタブ, nekoashi basutabu) literally translates to either "cabriole-leg bathtub" or "clawfoot bathtub." "Cabriole-leg bathtub" is never used in English. In comparison, "clawfoot bathtub" (along with "clawfoot tub") is the commonplace terminology for the item in question.

Bewteen "Clawfoot Bathtub" and "Claw-Foot Tub," I vote for "Clawfoot Bathtub," since it is equally as valid a name as the current name, and its nomenclature is very similar to the localized name, "Claw-Foot Tub."

Item #16: Cracker → Party Popper
While the literal translation of this item is "cracker," to my understanding, it is still acceptable to translate it as "party popper." Additionally, the for "cracker (party goods)" links to the English Wikipedia page for "party popper" in the interlanguage links section, as the items are essentially identical.

I like that the new name matches the localized name for consistency. It's also more specific in describing the identity of the item.

Items #17-19: Daruma → Dharma
While the name Daruma does come from the Sanskrit Dharma (specifically ), in the context of the Japanese dolls they are almost always called daruma, even in English. Note also the Certain-Victory Daruma (Giant Dharma in later games) is called so due to having the kanji 必勝 (hisshou, certain victory) on it, which is somewhat common on daruma dolls.

As much as I would like to use the localized names in this scenario, I think it is better to leave the names unchanged, since the new names are less accurate.

Item #20: Folding Screen → Screen
屏風 (びょうぶ, byoubu) literally translates to "folding screen." However, the localization reduces the name to simply "Screen."

As much as I would like to use the localized name in this scenario, I think it is better to leave the name unchanged, since the current name is more specific about the nature of the item.

Item #21: Jōmon Pottery → Jomon Pottery
縄文式土器 (じょうもんしきどき, joumon shikidoki), commonly known as 縄文土器 (じょうもんしきどき, joumon doki), literally translates to "." is meant to be spelled with an "ō." However, the localized name uses a regular "o."

It's probably better not to change the name since the new name is less grammatically correct.

Items #22 and 23: Drum Can → Drum, Oil Drum, or Oil Barrel
(The items in question are in rows 1 and 2; row 3 is showcased for comparison since it has a similar Japanese name and has appeared in for GameCube.) ドラムカン / ドラムかん (doramu kan) is the base name shared by all of these items, and it literally translates to "drum can." However, the localization opts to translates it as "drum" in games prior to, and as "oil drum" in the Oil Drum Set (ドラムかんセット). To be honest, while "drum" is not an inaccurate localization, I feel it is not the best choice, because "drum" can be confused with the instrument. However, it makes sense to use "drum" anyways to be consistent with the localization, especially since was localized in  and exists in some of the same pre- games ( and ) as ちゃいろのドラムカン and あかいドラムカン. Of note, ちゃいろ (chairo) can be translated as either "light brown" or "brown."

The current names are fine.

Item #24: Morning Assembly Stand → Stepstool or Platform
朝礼台 (ちょうれいだい, choureidai) literally translates to "morning assembly stand." It seems that the localization and unused internal name uses generic names that are meant to make more sense to an English-speaking audience.

It's probably better to leave the name unchanged since the current name is more specific.

Item #25: N Cube Shirt → N Logo Shirt
(The items in question is in row 1; rows 2-4 are showcased for comparison since they have similar Japanese names.) Nキューブな服 (Nキューブなふく, N kyūbu na fuku) literally translates to "N cube clothes." There also exists a furniture item of a similar nature called Nキューブ (N kyūbu) which shares its base name with the clothing item, and it literally translates to "N cube." However, it was localized as the "N logo." Similarly, the Gキューブな服 (Gキューブなふく, G kyūbu na fuku) and Gキューブ (G kyūbu) literally translate to "G cube clothes" and "G cube" respectively, but the localization calls them the "G logo shirt" and "G logo."

It makes sense to update the current name to the new name, since 3 of the 4 items were localized from "cube" as "logo." To be honest, I would rather keep it as "cube" because that is more accurate than the localization, but updating it makes sense so that it's clear this item is linked with the other 3 items.

Item #26: New Year's Eve Noodles → Long-Life Noodle or New Year's Noodles
年越し蕎麦 (としこしそば, ) is a noodle dish traditionally eaten on New Year's Eve. However, the localization translates it as "New Year's" rather than as "New Year's Eve."

As much as I would like to use the localized name in this scenario, I think it is better to leave the name unchanged, as "New Year's" by itself slightly misleading. The unused internal name is also not that great and probably shouldn't be used.

Item #27: New Year's Food → Osechi
is traditional Japanese new year's food.

I like that the new name matches the localization and unused internal name for consistency.

Item #28: Pail → Garbage Pail
(The items in question is in row 1; rows 2 and 3 are showcased for comparison since they have similar Japanese names.) The literal translation of this item is "pail" (ペール, pēru). Visually, the item looks like a garbage pail, although the original Japanese name does not specify the "garbage" part. The localization does include the "garbage" part.

"Garbage Pail" is a better name, because it is more specific in describing the identity of the item.

Item #29: Paulownia Dresser → Dresser, Paulownia Closet, or Empress-Tree-Wood Dresser
The name of this item prior to is 桐箪笥 (きりだんす, kiri dansu), which literally translates to "Paulownia dresser." is a genus of hardwood tree in Asia. For some reason, the pre- localization calls it a "closet" instead of a "dresser"; it's not really a closet, since you can't hang clothes in this item. However, in, the item's Japanese name slightly changes and becomes 和箪笥 (わだんす, wa dansu), which literally translates to "Japanese dresser," and the 桐 (kiri) part of the name is moved to the variant. While the localization now properly describes the item as a "Dresser," it simultaneously alters the translation of "Paulownia" to "Empress-Tree Wood." "" is a very specific species of Paulownia, and 桐 (kiri) can technically refer to either "Paulownia" or "Paulownia tomentosa." Other names for Paulownia tomentosa include "princess tree" and "fox-glove tree," although the localization specifically opts for "empress tree."

The current name is fine. The unused internal name of "Dresser" is a poor choice because it fails to translate 桐 (kiri). "Paulownia Closet" is a poor choice because the item in question is a dresser, not a closet. "Paulownia" is already an accurate generic translation of 桐 (kiri) along with being the pre- localization's choice for this item's name, so there isn't really a huge need to change it to "Empress-Tree-Wood."

Item #30: Pinball Table → Pinball Machine
ピンボール台 (ピンボールだい, pinbōru dai) literally translates to "pinball table," or "pinball stand." However, the item in question is never referred to as such in English, and the commonplace terminology for it is "pinball machine."

"Pinball Machine" is a better name, because it is more specific in describing the identity of the item.

Item #31 and 32: Rag Chair/Desk → Towel Chair/Desk, Chair/Desk with Rag, Chair/Desk with Cloth, or Chair/Desk with Towel
(The items in question are in rows 1 and 2; row 3 is showcased for comparison since it shares some of its Japanese name.) ぞうきんのイス (zoukin no isu) can be translated as either "dust-cloth chair" or "cleaning-cloth chair," while ぞうきんのつくえ (zoukin no tsukue) can be translated as either "dust-cloth table" or "cleaning-cloth table." While neither of these items have made a reappearance, the Towel Rack (ぞうきんかけ, zoukin kake) has. The localization opts to translates "cleaning cloth/dust cloth" (ぞうきん, zoukin) as "towel" for this particular item.

Chubby Bub has noted that, while the literal translations of these items are "cleaning-cloth chair" and "cleaning-cloth desk," these items would more aptly be referred to as "chair with a cleaning clothing" and "desk with a cleaning cloth" in English. He would personally opt for "Chair with Cleaning Cloth" and "Desk with Cleaning Cloth," but the names are a bit lengthy, and he suggests that either "Chair with Rag" and "Desk with Rag," or "Chair with Cloth" and "Desk with Cloth," would be acceptable. But not "Cloth Chair" and "Cloth Desk," since that would make it sound like that the items are made of cloth.

The current names are fine.

Item #33: Red Vending Machine → Cola Machine or Red Drink Machine
じはんき (jihanki) literally translates to "vending machine," while あかいじはんき (akai jihanki) literally translates to "red vending machine." This means that the localization in later games introduced the word "drink" into the name, even though there isn't anything about the original name that would imply that this item is related to drinks, other than its visual appearance. Also, there are some other items that contain the word jihanki that are not necessarily drink machines, like the (キャンディのじはんき, kyandi no jihanki). Furthermore, the Vending Set (じはんきセット, jihanki setto), also known as the Vending Machine Set, doesn't include the word "drink" in it either.

As much as I would like to use the localized name in this scenario, I think it is better to leave the name unchanged. While "Drink Machine" is technically more specific in describing the merchandise inside of the item, it is a less accurate translation. The unused internal name is also not that accurate of a translation.

Item #34: Safety Frog → Lucky Frog
無事蛙 (ぶじかえる, buji kaeru, often spelled as ぶじカエル) literally translates to "safety frog." They are frog figurines or amulets that are considered to bring good luck, similar to  (cat figurines which are meant to bring good luck). The reason buji kaeru are considered lucky is due to wordplay involving the name: frog (蛙, kaeru) is pronounced identically to 帰る (kaeru), "to return (home)." So a person carries a buji kaeru to ensure that they will return home safely. (Frogs are generally considered auspicious due to a few other puns involving the name.) Sometimes buji kaeru are stone statues, and they are placed near the entrances to buildings, such as temples. It would make sense to use the localization, "lucky frog," since this item is associated with bringing good luck.

As much as I would like to use the localized name in this scenario, I think it is better to leave the name unchanged. While the item in question does bring good luck, changing "safety frog" to "lucky frog" changes the original name meaning, involving the safeness aspect that the item is meant to bring.

Item #35: Sewing Box → Sturdy Sewing Box
The literal translation of this item is "sewing box." The localization introduced an adjective into the name for flavor, although it was not really necessary.

I think it would be better to leave the name unchanged.

Item #36: Shakōkidogū → Spaceman
This item's English and Japanese name changed when the item's identity was changed from a furniture to an artwork (the Ancient Statue) starting in, so this discussion will only be focusing on its non-artwork incarnation. The encyclopedic term for this item is the (goggle-eyed dogū). However, the localization team presumably felt that an English-speaking audience would not be culturally up-to-speed on Jōmon pottery and felt "Spaceman" would be an appropriate translation.

As much as I would like to use the localized name in this scenario, I think it is better to leave the name unchanged, since the new name is less accurate.

Item #37: Staircase Dresser → Tansu or Stair Dresser
階段箪笥 (かいだんだんす, kaidan dansu) literally translates to either "stair dresser" or "staircase dresser." The internal name, "tansu," is not an inaccurate translation, but it's a bit broad, since it simply means "dresser" by itself.

Between "Tansu" and "Stair Dresser," I vote for "Stair Dresser." It's an equally valid name as the current name, and I like that it matches the localization.

Item #38: Striped Pylon → Striped Cone
縞縞パイロン (しましまパイロン, shimashima pairon) literally translates to "striped pylon." While the usage of パイロン (pairon) could refer to other generic pylons, such as a corner pylon (コーナー パイロン, kōnā pairon), it's very commonly used to refer to the specific pylon known as a "traffic cone."

"Striped Cone" is a better name, because it is more specific in describing the identity of the item.

Item #39: Tanuki Figurine → Racoon Figurine or Raccoon Figurine
Raccoons are the localization's version of the, tanuki. The localization changes the identity of the animal from tanuki → raccoon in all instances, including for Tom Nook.

As much as I would like to use one of the localized names in this scenario, I think it is better to leave the name unchanged, since translating it as "Raccoon Figurine" is essentially erasing the original identity of the item.

Item #40: Tanukichi's Autograph → Nook's Autograph or Tom Nook's Autograph
(The item in question is in row 1; row 2 is showcased for comparison since it shares some of its Japanese name and has appeared in for GameCube.) Tom Nook's Japanese name is "Tanukichi," which is a play on, his species. The current name is using "Tanukichi" instead of "Nook" or "Tom Nook," although all names are equally valid.

Item #41: Tea Dresser → Tea Tansu
茶箪笥 (ちゃだんす, cha dansu) literally translates to "tea dresser." The localizations of 箪笥 (dansu / tansu) for the and  have been translated as "dresser." However, the localization decided to leave it as the original Japanese terminology for this item only.

Item #42: Traffic Guidance Robot → Robotic Flagman or Safety Robot
交通誘導 (こうつうゆうどう, koutsuuyuudou) literally translates to "traffic guidance," a role served by. However, the localization translates the word as "safety" in regards to the clothing item, while the unused internal translation uses the term "flagman," neither of which are accurate translations.

The current name for the robot seems fine and probably does not need to be changed.

Item #43: Tsukimi Dango → Moon Dumpling or Dango
are a type of Japanese dumplings, of which Tsukimi dango are a specific variety eaten at Tsukimi (the Harvest Moon Festival). As can be seen on the Wikipedia page, there are many other varieties of dango. Although in all games the Japanese name is "Tsukimi dango", because the item is obtained in celebration of the Tsukimi festival, the localization opted to exclude the Tsukimi specifier. So it's another case of choosing to keep the more specific Japanese name, or omitting it to conform with localizations.

As much as I would like to use the localized name in this scenario, I think it is better to leave the name unchanged, since "Tsukimi dango" is a specific type of dango. The unused internal name is also not exactly accurate.

Item #44: Wastebasket → Trash Can
屑籠 (くずかご, kuzukago) literally translates to either "wastepaper basket" or "wastebasket." However, the localization translated it as "trash can" instead.

The current name is fine.

Item #45: Wooden Crate → Wooden Box
This is essentially the same item between all its appearances (although the FRAGILE stamp was removed after ), and the Japanese name remains the same, きばこ. Obviously "crate" and "box" are not very dissimilar, and it seems to be that きばこ (木箱 in kanji) can refer to either a large wooden crate used for transportation, like this one, or a smaller wooden box for other purposes. But without context, it probably would just be translated as "wooden box", since that applies to both. .

I like that it matches the localization for consistency.

Item #46: Worn-Out Mud Wall → Dirt-Clod Wall
The current name of the item, "Worn-Out Mud Wall", is the literal translation of the name ボロいつちかべ. The item has this Japanese name in all games but also is called "Dirt-Clod Wall" in all English localizations. They're not exactly the same but they both convey the nature of the wall.

Addendum
As mentioned in the previous discussion, the items in Category:Items with no English localization can be generalized into 4 groups:
 * 1) The item reappears in a later game entry. Its translation on Nookipedia is different from a later game entry. (46 items)
 * 2) The item reappears in a later game entry. Its translation on Nookipedia is already identical to its name in a later game entry. (31 items)
