Ok, as someone who knows nothing and cares nothing about the distinction linguistically or politically between valencian, catalan, and klingon, why can't we have multiple translations to "valencian" with different subtexts? I mean, if I decided to do an English(l337) translation, I am sure there would be several people that pointed out that my translation was not the real English, only barely resembled English in the first place, and was of dubious historic precedent. And they would do the same even if I was doing a translation to English(middle), English(Old), etc...
So, why can't we have three (or more) translations: Catalan, Valencian, Valencian(RACV), Valencian(l337), Valencian(klingon), etc... I suspect that people who care enough will figure out which translation makes the most sense to them. If someone sees two valencian translations, and they try one out and it is gibberish, difficult, or unappelaing, they are likely to try out the other one.
