I noticed that some characters use names based on the Chinese translation, such as Elena (callsign: Cedar) ~ 埃琳娜 but this game uses a Russian-language context (even though it’s a Chinese game), so I’m not sure whether to use the Russian translation of the character’s name, Знамёнщик ~ znamonshchik (callsign: cedar), or the Chinese translation

What about the mentioned above? 
We should use the official names found in the game.
So we’ll just have to wait for the game to get an official English translation
The Russian is their callsign.

We can't use Cyrillic for tags, and the way it is romanized could differ between fan translations and official translations.

Well, rather, I was clarifying that it isn't their actual name, so to speak. Sorry if that reply was confusing.

Now you've actually confused me. Arknights doesn't use the actual name of its operators either, but their codenames given as playable characters, so the same would apply here.

Oh, alright, I see. I wasn't sure if we were on the same page or not either. So, basically, we're just tossing up between using their callsign (on the website in Cyrillic), and actual names until we get any sort of official localisation, then? But what takes precedence, really? Because in-game (Kedr) during cutscenes, characters have their actual names attached to the dialogue boxes and such, and the recruitment screen doesn't really emphasize their callsign/codename, rather their actual name. If that makes sense.

The answer is to wait for the official English name.

Aha, I see. So we're closer in a Blue Archive situation then. I think in that case we're just going to have to wait for an eventual English release, since this feels like a touch-and-go sort of situation where it will depend on what's more commonly used in the community.
