Zoo names
CongLatCongLat 1222300532|%e %b %Y, %H:%M %Z|agohover

Okay, we need to decide on names for the zoos, and we want your suggestions.
Some potential names are:
Bustling Zoo
or
Nigiwai Zoo
For にぎわい Zoo and:
Worn-Down Zoo
or
Onboro Zoo
For おんぼろ Zoo.

Post your vote on one of these 4 or one of your own, if you're adding your own, please say why you think it would be best.

I liked the translated names and the Japanese names so I could go either way. I've been translating Nigiwai Doubutsuen as Bustling Zoo but I think someone else could probably do better.

Personally, I think that it'd be better to keep the names as their romaji, and simply have it stated somewhere what the name means. That way the word is still the zoo's NAME, but you can also know what it means in english so you get that meaning too.

Unfortunately, this project isn't a manga, So there are no margins to add such notes in. Make them english.

This is very true… We could add a note file, but that seems like it could be a hassle to the user.

Well, it could be in either way, but if zoo's names (their meaning) are really important in the game it must be in english, after all japanese people can undestand the names, and a properly translation should be like the original. If the japanese people know the meanin of the names, we should do it too. (sorry if my english sound weird)
