It's basically a preference and depends on what type of translation style you want to go for. Some people are very outspokenly against keeping terms like shijie or shizun etc. instead of translating it as well - I prefer them untranslated myself but I can understand why someone wouldn't.
What really bugs me is the few people (usually in fic) who keep using the pinyin with all the accents for names - that really is pretty annoying.

Ah, by "keeps shijie as shijie" I meant instead of having WWX call her "Yanli", which I know the official donghua subs do (and maybe the Netflix CQL subs? I don't have Netflix though so I'm not sure but I've Heard Things). But that was super not clear, and anyway, I agree, if it's just translating it outright or not, that's down to personal preference.

haha ngl I definitely find the pinyin accents distracting, but I wouldn't back button out of a fic bc of them. Mostly I just wish the tags didn't have the accents so fic would be easier to tag.
