Haven't all the official translations already used Raftel?

Yes, including Stampede, where the eternal pose literally says “Laugh Tale” on it while the subtitles read “it’s an eternal post to Raftel!” which will probably result in some jojo-style screenshots of how blatantly off it appears.

I mean it's basically exactly like if you had a shirt that said "Born in the Big Apple" and someone was like "oh! he must be from New York!"

iirc on the one piece podcast they speculated that whoever got the subbing job was only given the audio which is why they went ahead and used the same name that's been used up until now

There's like a 50/50 chance that when Oda writes it in English in the manga it's going to be "Raftel" again.

Laugh Tale is funnier and less serious which makes it perfect for the big important place everyone's trying to get to

in a deep lore twist the language spoken in the one piece universe is actually akkadian, as it's the only other language i can think of other than japanese that does the "written one way, means one thing, pronounced multiple different ways while maintaining the same concept" thing

Laugh Tale is a fitting name for the end of the world, named by a man born in Loguetown. I like it.

For what its worth, in the dub they specifically pronounce it as Laugh Tale. Personally I think its a cool and fitting name.

It sounds almost the same, it's just the eh is now an ay.

Though I'm also of the mind that Oda didn't plan on Raftel being Laugh Tale when he started because Raftel is written differently than Laugh Tale would be.

It's odd that they had the characters pronounce it Laugh Tale in the dub though. They could've gotten away with it if they did a Gol D. Roger situation where the public knows it as Raftel but the true name is Laugh Tale.
