Hi there,
I am currently writing my Master thesis and for that I do need some quick help. The question right upfront: Do the names of western football players such as Thomas Müller, Robert Lewandowski or even Asian players like Son Heung-min get translated when used in Japanese Newspapers?
The reason why I'm asking is, that I need to figure out how often certain players are mentioned in Japanese media. For Japanese players such as the Dortmund midfielder Park Shinji Kagawa I use both his western name and his Japanese name as search terms. But what would I use for football players that are not Japanese? Do the Japanese media stick to their western names?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks
