The translation of the MIs added in FoA has the potential to strongly irritate some Japanese players

There was a rule for the Japanese translation stating that “MI” should not be translated into Japanese, but rather transliterated into Katakana.
Here is examples of the new items causing the problem…

This has been very poorly received by some players. It isn’t that the translation is incorrect; rather, it suffers from poor readability and is hard to understand—and above all, it just looks bad.
In my experience, nine out of ten people would find this problematic. The remaining one would likely want the translations unified—specifically, adopting the new translation over the old one. Either way, having split translations causes significant confusion.
The only issue lies with “MI”; the other items do not require any changes.

I have created a mod file to address this issue on a provisional basis. It includes a script file for the changes.
