Renaming this category to Tian Lake of Tian Mountain

[edit]

It seems unnecessary to use pinyin here instead of literally translating them to English. The "chi" in Tianchi already has the meaning of "lake" , so "Tianchi lake" is literally "heavenly lake lake". The same also can also be applied to "Tian Shan", in which "Shan" means "mountain". Using pinyin instead of translation should only be used if we can't find the proper word in English to describe the meaning of a specific word, like "kungfu".Tomskyhaha (talk) 08:16, 5 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
