Why is "warrior" not listed as a possible translation for 無双?


The word 無双 to translates to "warrior" in nearly every [search
result](http://duckduckgo.com/%E7%84%A1%E5%8F%8C). For example [ゼルダ無双
厄災の黙示録](https://store-jp.nintendo.com/list/software/70010000028021.html) ->
[Zelda Warriors: Apocalypse of
Calamity](https://www.nintendo.com/store/products/hyrule-warriors-age-of-
calamity-switch/) (according to Google translate. Nintendo localized this in
English with a slightly different title: Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity)

Every time I paste a phrase that contains 無双 into Google translate, I get
"warrior".

These are the last 4 results for this word on
[jisho.org](https://jisho.org/search/%E7%84%A1%E5%8F%8C):

  * 無双OROCHI Z -> Musou Orochi Z​
  * 無双OROCHI -> Warriors Orochi
  * 無双OROCHI 魔王再臨 -> Warriors Orochi 2
  * 無双OROCHI 2 -> Warriors Orochi 3

What's odd is that "warrior" itself is not listed as a possible translation
for these two kanji.

If this word so consistently translates to "warrior" why is "warrior" not
listed as a possible translation on jisho.org?




Google Translate works on an algorithm. It takes the most frequent match for a
word in its database and uses it. It happens that there's a video game series
called 無双, and that the English title of this video game series is 'Warriors'.
無双 isn't the _most_ common of words, so the most frequent context probably is
the video game series. This does not mean 無双 translates to 'warrior', however,
much as 悪魔城｛あくまじょう｝ドラキュラ does not literally translate to 'Castlevania'.
