Track naming

I think this track should be recalled to "Pista Delfino" in German instead of "Delfino Circuit". It's the same with DS Delfino Square, it's called "DS Piazalle Delfino" in German rather than "DS Delfino-Platz", so what do the others think, and what about the author, I know he's German. -- NiAlBlack 16:53, 24 November 2012 (UTC)

Overruled I'm afraid :P I have consulted two German speakers in addition to the person who originally translated it to Delfino Piste (so three in total) and they are unanimous in saying that it is correct as it is. I've also been told that Pista is a Spanish word, and that it doesn't exist in German at all. Thank you for questioning it though! We're still striving for the most accurate translations for everything in the game :) -- WorldsBoss 18:54, 24 November 2012 (UTC)

Yeah, I know that it is not German, lol, but "Piazalle" isn't German either, whoever made the translation for the original game did this on purpose. This has been done to the whole SMS-Game too. They used pseudo-Italian for all places because the game SMS is how most Germans imagine italy. Delfino Square is based off SMS, that's why they kept the pseudo-Italian name in the German version of MKDS/Wii, so this should be done to this custom track too. -- NiAlBlack 19:04, 24 November 2012 (UTC)
