I was looking at the World Masterpiece Theater entry, and I realized that about half of the titles are displayed with their Japanese name, and half the English translation. Is there a reason for this, and if not, would it be possible to change all of their display names (their "main" name in the encyclopedia) to one or the other? I just hate when things are inconsistent for no reason. Anime smile + sweatdrop

I thought at first it might be that the ones that had been dubbed into English were displayed with their English name, but that's not the case. For example, I saw Little Women in English when I was younger, but it is displayed as Ai no Wakakusa Monogatari in the encyclopedia. I also saw Adventures of Tom Sawyer in English, and it is displayed with its English name, rather than Tom Sawyer no Boken.

This is just something that was bugging me. I hope one of the staff can either make clear the reasoning behind this for me, or fix the titles to display consistently in one language.
