Foreign Names

Well, I was going through the Galaxies' articles, adding their Japanese names, and I'm not sure what to do here. The Japanese name for this Galaxy is 「ヘルプロミネンス。」  Now there's not much ambiguity at all about what this translates as; it's "Hell Prominence." The reason is that this is what's called wasei eigo, or Japanese-Made English. Basically, it's English written with Japanese Characters. Now, I know that this Wiki has a profanity policy that's... shaky, at best, so I need to know what I should do here. Thanks.

I don't get you. Hell is a word. It describes a place.

Hell, according to many religious beliefs, is a location in the afterlife, which may be described as a place of suffering.

How is it profane? It's a description, not an insult. Only because some Americans use it to swear (just like "devil" in other languages), that doesn't make the word itself bad. - Cobold (talk · contribs) 11:03, 26 October 2008 (EDT)

Really? Where I come from, saying hell, even in reference to the place, is pretty offensive. Actually, referencing the place is one of the worst ways to use it. "Heck" is sometimes offensive too. Of course, I live in the bible belt, so... Anyway, thanks for clearing that up.
