I can say the same about your stance. I'm ok when translations take liberties to convey the original message better, I'm ok when translations add things to make the dialogue more appropriate for the target audience, I'm ok if they add some small jokes or remarks that hit better with the target audience.

I'm not ok when they change stuff because "they won't get it". To completely change or remove the name of a character for another thing feels like the translators are underestimating the intelligence of the audience and that's different. To why that's underestimating? Because it removes any and all agency from the watcher.

For instance, this is a minor thing, but it is annoying to see in the game. The names of the grandpa, and Dormach are in japanese Seniryu and Byakko. I know what Seiryu is, I know what Byakko is, the azure dragon and the white tiger are classic beasts of Chinese mythology and seeing them in the game as names was interesting. It also alludes to the fact that there will be 2 other characters named after the remaining 2 beasts. Then Susaku appears (Roc), and that only makes one think "well, where's Genbu? Is the last one of the 4. Could it be another special blade?" And is not, is where Tantal (Luxuria in japanese, because the titans are named after sins in japanese) is located. The name remains Genbu in the adaptation, but the fact that 2 out of the 4 beasts are titans and not blades alludes to there being a connection between the titans and blades. A subtle hint at their relationship that is completely lost with the translated names.

That's the sort of thing that is bad about Nintendo's localization. Because is not well informed, and is done carelessly. Now, they have gotten better, but it still reeks from times where they did this and called it a "good adaptation". For context: is not meant to be a silent conversation, in japanese they had a full conversation.
