"two characters sharing the same name..."

Yeah... It makes some muddle :)

"It would be better if they used the transliterated English names in Russian"

I agree with you. Foreign resellers need to use the original names of the toys. The original name is a trademark, it's important recognizable sign.

But such scheme is nearly inapplicable for TV show translation (especially for interlocution of the characters). Slavic transliteration of the English names sounds very odd.

Certainly, we can transliterate the English names, but we can't understand and keep in mind such names. For example: The name "Crumbs Sugar Cookie" sounds so whimsically for Ukrainian ears, how "Sladkoegzhka"-name sounds strange for American ears :-)

That's why, our translators decided to do not a literal translation.

By the way, I intend to write to the MGA Rus.

I want to ask them:

1) "Will they translate Netflix series in Russian somewhen?"

2) "Which Russian studio made the adaptation of the TV-show and web-episodes?"

If be honest, I don't believe that they will respond me ;-) Because I'm only a private person...

All the best!

P.S. Thanks for made me the admin. of the Rus. Lalawiki :-)
