|  different translations ? I just cant get over the fact that the name of "light" changes same for "kira" beeing translated as "killer" and so on ... why cant the translators read the translations of the ones before them and keep in one line ...

| Each translator chooses to translate things differently. One is not necessarily better than the other. Raito is the transliteration of the Japanese word for "Light" and Kira for "Killer", so some choose to translate the word and others to transliterate it. If you don't like the translation, do it yourself. You should be grateful that someone is willing to do the work to produce the scanlation for you and not complain about trivial details.
