When it comes to naming of a term, we'll only use an Adaption's term, if the original doesn't give a proper english term.

For instance, the Light Novel doesn't ever give us a corect spelling for リーファ, so we used the Anime adaption's speling, Leafa (kinda?), while before hand, we had it "Lyfa" as the fan-translation.

月夜の黒猫団 was never given an english name, in the Light Novel, nor Anime, so we went with the English dub's name, "Moonlit Black Cats"

However, terms likes "Lightning Flash" for 閃光, are completely off the mark, and merely something the dubbers threw in to make it sound cool.

When the Official translation comes out for the Light Novel, we will convert terms, IF they don't conflict with previously established facts. "Knights of the Blood Oaf" and "Holy Dragon Alliance" would be such examples.
