Prime Tortoise of the Record Bureau → Cefu Yuangui – There is no set translation for this book's title and nobody has attempted to translate the book into English. A search for "cefu yuangui" on books.google.com shows that the title can be translated a myriad of ways. Cefu had been translated variously as "Record Bureau", "Palace of Books", "Storehouse of Literature", "Archival Palace", "Document Store", "Imperial Record Office" etc. while Yuangui had been translated variously as "Prime Tortoise", "Outstanding Models", "Magic Mirror", "Prime Specimens", "Great Oracle" etc. Timmyshin (talk) 13:50, 7 November 2013 (UTC)


 * Mild support. I can see the point for literally translating the title and for not doing so, and I think I agree with Timmyshin's logic a bit more.  --Nlu (talk) 22:27, 9 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Support - when there's no widely accepted English translation, it's probably better to use transliteration. -Zanhe (talk) 11:15, 10 November 2013 (UTC)
