The creation of Lua data modules is complete. While going through the templates, I saw lots of inconsistencies and mistranslations, so I am proposing a large set of renames.

All renames are based on the japanese text in api_start2. If an equipment has a different name in the equipment list, equipment comparison, or the library, it should already be listed in the "Alternate names" section of its infobox, which you can confirm at Sandbox/EquipmentInfoKai (You may need to navigate to a sub-page). If an equipment has a different name on it's card, hover over the card image in its infobox and it should be shown in a tooltip. If any alternate names are missing please inform me! (If there are any errors in stats or typos please inform me as well!) I hope this is sufficient to address previous concerns about the name; if not, I would appreciate your feedback.

Most of the changes involve changing following a few rules:


 * 砲 -> Gun
 * 副砲 -> Secondary Gun
 * 高角砲 -> High-angle Gun
 * 連装___ -> Twin ___ Mount
 * 三連装___ -> Triple ___ Mount
 * 四連装___ -> Quadruple ___ Mount
 * 五連装___ -> Quintuple ___ Mount
 * 艦首___ -> Bow ___ Mount
 * 機銃 -> Machine Gun / Autocannon
 * __型** -> Model __**
 * __号 -> No. __
 * 改 -> Kai
 * 改二 -> Kai Ni
 * 改三 -> Kai San
 * 改四 -> Kai Yon
 * 零式艦戦 -> Type 0 Fighter
 * 零戦 -> Zero Fighter
 * 偵察 -> Reconnaissance
 * 偵 -> Recon
 * 聴音機 -> Passive Sonar
 * 探信儀 -> Active Sonar
 * 爆雷 -> Depth Charge
 * 爆雷投射機 -> Depth Charge Projector
