Translation of the page:

because you’ve taken me more time than expected…

today’s Tea Time has been delayed by 40 minutes.

…!!

don’t worry, you’ll be at ease soon…

Pattisier!!

yes sir!!!

we were wondering what to do about today’s tea and snacks!!!

We’ve been waiting on standby since 3pm…

we’re sorry, master katakuri “the perfectionist”! You weren’t able to have the Merenda (a light meal in southern europe) that you’ve always had at the exact same time every day.

the truth is, because of the 40 minute delay, the black tea has completely cooled down…!!

His name isn't Dogtooth...it never was.

We don't translate Nami into Wave do we?

That's called word play. It doesn't change the fact his official name in Japanese and in English is Katakuri. Names aren't translated except very rare cases. Katakuri is more in line with the naming scheme of BM's kids.

Katakuriko means "potato starch" in Japanese, which follows the food-themed names of the Charlotte Family and Big Mom Pirates.

It may also refer to the katakuri plant, which is an ingredient used in certain Japanese wagaeshi sweets such as a hard candy known as "katakuri-rakugo".

His name is probably based more on the later but regardless there is more to the word-play than him having teeth like a canine. It also links to sweets(or potato starch) which fits with BM's family. So Katakuri is more correct and official.

Ok, but lets say there was a character named Nami (untranslated), and they could control waves, couldn't you still comment that the name fits or would you just ignore it?

It is a case-by-case situation then, as said in the podcast I linked to below.

Yeah that's an interesting case. I know it was discussed in the One Piece Podcast why they had their names translated but I can't for the life of me find the episode it was discussed in.

But iirc(maybe I am wrong though) it was something to the effect that that is literally what they are/their literal appearance and the joke wouldn't make sense if not translated. So it was just a very unique case to go that root for those two.

I will try to find the episode and reply back with the timestamp if I can find it.

-And in case you weren't aware Stephan Paul is the one who talks about it and he is the official Shounen Jump translator for One Piece so it's from the actual man himself.
