Regarding the localization of the characters’ names: should I keep the accents?
It hit me lately. When I localize the characters’ names, unless said character had a French origin, I always remove the accents and I anglicize the name, when possible.

For exemples: * In Red and Blue Cycles of Existance, “Saliéka” become “Salieka”.
* In Entre-Deux Cursed, “Colin Coudeau” become “Colin Seewater”.
Also, “Jesabelle” = “Jesabel” and “Virgile” = “Virgil”.
* In Les 4 Alice Lorange Journey, “Alice Lorange” stay the same, since she had a French origin.
* However, in A.L.A.N. Rift Breakers, “Aimé” kept his accent.

So, for my future stories, should I keep the accents and not anglicize any names?
I always wanted my translations to be as close as the original as possible, but I want the text to be natural and easy to read as well.
Having all French-y names might be odd for an English reader, especially if an English equivalent name is available.
Of course, if said character is French, the name won’t be changed… but how about the other names???
