How should Japanese currency be interpreted in translated manga?
-Converted to the translator/publisher's local currency
-Converted to a popular form of currency (USD, GBP, EUR, etc.), regardless of where it's translated
-No change; leave it as Japanese Yen
-Leave it as Japanese Yen, but add a translation note ("TL Note: 5000 yen is roughly $47 USD")
-Make up a fictional currency
-Translate as vaguely as possible ("It costs 200,000 yen!" turns into "That costs so much!")

How should Chinese names in Japanese manga be translated?
-Leave them as their Japanese pronunciations, just like the author did
-Change them into their proper Chinese pronunciations for authenticity
-Change them into their proper Chinese pronunciations only if the story takes place in China
Context of this poll: There are lots of anime & manga written by Japanese authors that take place in China, or have characters who are ethnically Chinese. In the original Japanese releases, these Chinese names are usually pronounced in "Japanese."
For example, the name "玉玲" is pronounced "Gyokurei" in Japanese. In Chinese, it's pronounced "Yu Ling". Depending on who's doing the (English/French/Spanish/etc.) translation, the resulting romaji may differ. I've personally seen translated manga where Chinese names were converted to Chinese, and I've even seen manga where the translator chose to stick with the author's preferences; it really can go both ways.
Audiovisual mediums (anime, movies, etc.) can make subtitling a challenge, but seeing as manga is purely a visual medium, they tend to have less grey area, often leading to an all-or-nothing situation.
