X TOKYO METROPOLITAN TACHIKAWA KOKUSAI SECONDARY EDUCATION SCHOOL
Tim says:
There are a couple of problems with how this school name has been translated into English.
“Metropolitan” is OK as a translation for 「都立」. Including “Tokyo” seems to me to add too many words, especially since I want to change the order of the words here.
The name of the school, “Tachikawa Kokusai” should be first in English, with “Metropolitan” after it.
Also, it feels unnecessary to use both “Education” and “School” together. Are there schools that aren’t related to education?? Of course not, so simply “secondary school” is enough.
