Again, "the pun is one of most difficulties for translation".
There are at least two ways to deal with:
- 1. Leave both the current title and its full title in English, then
add the full title in Hungarian.
- 2. Ignore the English abbraviation title and put the Hungalian,
based on translation of the full title in English (Core Online R...
E....), either full lengthy one or abbraviation. Just Village Pump is
only named so in English and some communities have no idea what VP is
(I saw sometimes questions "Go to VP to do something" "What's VP?").
Personally I prefer the second, but again, it depends on the character
of your community. Some prefer 1, some 2. I have no idea.
