FE 12 Chapter Introduction Translation

Although I am not new here, this is my first time posting, so please excuse any breaches in Forum etiquette I might make...

About two years ago I began adding the translated introductions to the chapters in Fire Emblem: Shin Monshō no Nazo ~Hikari to Kage no Eiyū~ (what a mouthful) via an unofficial translation of the game and ended up adding all of the introductions given. I recently checked out one of the pages and saw that someone has also added the introductions from Fire Emblem: Mystery of the Emblem, which is great. There were some discrepancies, however, that I thought might need to be addressed. First is the obvious updating of names from the fan translations to the official ones when available e.g. changing Chainey to Xane. The other issue, however, is that some names, especially of locations, do not match between the two introductions and no official translation (that I am aware of) exists. For example, in Liberation of Grust the FE12 translation uses "Olbern Keep" while the FE3 translation uses "Olbern Castle." Is this an issue important enough to be addressed and, if so, should we stick with one version's translation over another, or evaluate each discrepancy on an individual basis? I would love to help out now that I finally have free time! Thank you for reading and I would love to help out.
