Class names in romanian

I want to know your opinion about the following: Translate Class Names in Romanian or not ?

Pros and cons

Pros	Cons
A fully translated wiki (and game) A final clarification Some of the class names are perfecly in Romanian Romanian language comes to help users, not to subsituate English	Some class names may sound stupid at first

Game has all classes untranslated, this can change since I'm STS Moderator.

How would classes sound in Romanian

• Scout -> Cercetaş (sound a bit stupid, cercetaş hints to something like this link)
• Soldier -> Soldat (works)
• Pyro -> Piroman (works)
• Demoman -> Demolator (works)
• Heavy -> Gras (direct translation of fat, may not work very well)
• Engineer -> Inginer (works)
• Sniper -> Lunetist (works)
• Medic -> Medic
• Spy -> Spion (works)

Scout means something odd in English too, it's a youth thing, and they do campfires etc, so that works. Rest seem fine. But you should get them in-game first.  – Smashman _(talk) 21:26, 11 September 2010 (UTC)

Valve Answer: "Absolutely up to you - in German for example I kept all the names of the charcaters." -- Nightbox _{(t s)} 21:27, 11 September 2010 (UTC)

Smashman is apparently unfamiliar with the proper definition of Scout, as in one who runs ahead and gathers information on the battlefield - like the Scout. -- Nineaxis 21:32, 11 September 2010 (UTC)

wikipedia:Scout (disambiguation) "The term scout originally referred to a soldier performing reconnaissance and support duties. In English, it is used in many other contexts." --Underyx 11:30, 12 September 2010 (UTC)

I would vote for CONS.It sounds stupid and romanians learned them in english.They are not hard names to spell. BadeAce (talk) 03:07, 4 January 2015 (PST)
