Re: Translation Help
Because you have wound Lili'uokalani's name, the goddess Pele's name, and Mary Kawena Puku'is last name into the names of a squad and its characters into your comic book, and because you are now asking for the translation of "children of Lili'uokalani" as the potential name for a fictional highschool in your comic book, get ready to face a lot of opposition from Hawaiian circles, as some people will find it offensive. You could eliminate a lot of this by picking new names for the Hawaiian characters. If the naming is grammatically incorrect, or offensive as it is now, it will be criticized for all eternity by those involved in Hawaiian culture and language.
1) Talk to an authority on the language at the University of Hawai'i.
2) Have him or her help you come up with new names for your characters, and to help revise the name of your potential school.
