Question: SEA ROOT

[ciakmull]

The co-director signed on hkmdb is:

Chiu Aau Chong Chok Siu Cho
超藝創作小組
http://www.hkmdb.com/db/people/view.mhtml?id=11470&display_set=eng

In his HK Filmography John Charles translate it in english as "The Art Concept Creative Group". Could anyone confirm this translation? If the translation is correct I suggest to change it in the english entry.

A similar issue occurs in Pom Pom. The writer is:

Bo Wing Pin Kek Cho
寶禾編劇組
http://www.hkmdb.com/db/people/view.mhtml?id=5302&display_set=eng

In HK Filmography this is translated as "Bo Ho Writing Team". If the translation is correct, should we update it in the english entry?

[calros]

I think you're right in the first case...
WorldLingo says that 超藝創作小組 means "Ultra skill creation group". That sounds fine

but the second WorldLingo says that 寶禾編劇組 means "valuable standing grain arranges dramatic team"

[calros]

I don't know what to do in that cases.
Should I change the name of the writer group?
I need advice of the older ones.

I found a third similar entry:

Fung Ming Pin Kek Siu Cho
鳳鳴編劇小組
http://www.hkmdb.com/db/people/view.mhtml?id=5250&display_set=eng

According to John Charles's HK Filmography it should be translated as "Double Phoenix Golden Script Team".

WorldLingo seems to confirm that.

[calros]

OK. Changed.

John Charles' translations are a little free... This good gentleman has a lot of imagination...

I prefer doing a literal one, so I put some of their titles as alias only.
