Translation Matchmaking	comment	This is when two or more works that have little or nothing to do with each other are given translated titles that imply a connection. Sometimes to capitalize on the first work's fame, but often just because it's funny, which may be an overlap with Pun-Based Title. This is only for titles that have been translated. When it affects the content of the original work, it's a Dolled-Up Installment, or just Dub Text. Subtrope of Completely Different Title. See also Similarly Named Works and In Name Only. Parallel Porn Titles may also arise from this trope.

Translation Matchmaking / int_20ab5c99	comment	In French, Hikari Sentai Maskman and Choujuu Sentai Liveman became Bioman 2: Maskman and Bioman 3: Liveman respectively, due to the fact that Choudenshi Bioman was the first Super Sentai series to air there. While they're technically part of the same franchise, none of them are actually set in the same universe (later crossover appearances notwithstanding). Same with the Philippines (albeit in the commercials only), excluding Liveman, since that never aired there. Super Sentai is locally dubbed in Korean under the Power Rangers brand since Bakuryuu Sentai Abaranger (which was dubbed under the name of Power Rangers: Dino Thunder, not to be confused with the actual Power Rangers: Dino Thunder). Before Power Rangers began, dubbed versions of the 80s Sentai shows were aired in Korean starting with Dai Sentai Goggle Five, followed by every Sentai show between Choudenshi Bioman and Kousoku Sentai Turboranger, but then this was changed to Power Rangers dubs following Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers before switching back to Super Sentai dubs after the Korean dub of Power Rangers Wild Force ended.

The Naked Gun was named The Gun Died Laughing, and its sequels were named appropriately. Since then, other films would be translated as "The [something] Died Laughing"—Spy Hard was named The Spy Died Laughing, Wrongfully Accused, a parody of The Fugitive, was named The Fugitive Died Laughing, and 2001: A Space Travesty was named Space Died Laughing. This became even worse when later on spoof comedies that didn't star Leslie Nielsen got the same treatment - for example, George of the Jungle was named The Jungle Died Laughing, despite the fact that the cartoon was actually known and quite popular there at the time.

Translation Matchmaking / int_2f74eee6	comment	Commando (Capcom) and Bionic Commando were originally two unrelated arcade games titled SenjÅ� no ÅŒkami (literally "Wolf of the Battlefield") and Top Secret respectively in Japanese. Capcom USA would try to justify the connection between the two by claiming that the protagonist in the latter was Super Joe after being given a bionic arm, which was really just a grappling hook attached to his regular arm. The later NES version of Bionic Commando would try to solidify the connection between the two games by having the actual Super Joe around as a supporting character helping out new protagonist Rad Spencer. Ironically, Mercs, which was the actual sequel to Commando (the Japanese title is SenjÅ� no ÅŒkami II), was mainly treated as a different IP overseas and it wasn't until recent years that Capcom would try to tie Mercs into the Bionic Commando series by claiming that Super Joe was really just a codename for Joseph Gibson, the Player 1 character in Mercs, and even adding the subtitle "Wolf of the Battlefield" to the Wii Virtual Console release of the Genesis port of Mercs.

This is a play off Seth MacFarlane's other animated show Family Guy, which is dubbed in the same language dialect under the title Padre de familia (Father of the Family). Castilian Spanish follows the trope in a slightly different way. Family Guy is still known as Padre de familia, while +American Dad is Padre "Made in USA" ("Father 'Made in USA'", notice the English). In a stroke of luck, adding the padre part to the title of the first series actually helped them connect it to the second series. In Italian, Family Guy is called I Griffin (The Griffins) to match the title with The Simpsons and also with The Cosby Show (which is called I Robinson in Italy).

Likewise, the Canadian-produced sequel River City Ransom: Underground became Downtown Nekketsu Monogatari Underground for its Japanese localization. The Game Boy Advance game Bakunetsu Dodgeball Fighters was a spiritual sequel to the arcade/Famicom game Nekketsu High School Dodgeball Club starring expies of the Downtown Nekketsu cast, since the developers didn't have the rights to the Kunio-kun IP at the time. When the game was localized in North America, it was retitled Super Dodge Ball Advance (after the English version of its predecessor) with most of the same character names used for the prior localization of the NES version (e.g. Rajiv, Boris, Sam). Shin Nekketsu Kouha: Kunio-tachi no Banka was brought overseas (almost two decades late) as River City Girls Zero, inspired by the success of River City Girls. While the game does feature Misako and Kyoko, the main characters of River City Girls, in prominent roles, Shin Nekketsu Kouha is focused on Kunio and Riki like other games in the series, so the international title is somewhat misleading.

And neither was 100% accurate (But acceptable, this trope aside). Same in Mexican Spanish. Bewitched is known as "Hechizada" and Charmed as "Hechiceras". In Finnish, Bewitched is known as Vaimoni on noita ("My Wife Is a Witch") and Charmed as Siskoni on noita ("My Sister Is a Witch").

All this despite the obviously higher budget of Enter the Dragon (being a Hollywood/Hong Kong joint studio venture), not to mention the fact that Lee's characters in the two films are obviously not the same person (in name OR in personality), and thus neither film was actually a sequel to the other.

While the English title is a rough approximation of the Japanese original, when Nintendo of America picked up the publishing rights from Enix's US division, they also redesigned the logo and boxart to resemble the one used for The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past. Specifically they both have the same stylized font and layout, with the names "Zelda" and "Gaia" spelled in larger letters below the rest of the title and an object (Link's shield or the Earth itself) behind the first letter. In a more conventional example of this trope, the English version of Illusion of Gaia was originally planned to be released in North America as a sequel to SoulBlazer before switching publishers from Enix to Nintendo. While they were developed by the same company (Quintet), the two games are vaguely connected at best, with the most obvious connection being the first boss of Soul Blazer making a cameo appearance as the Superboss of Illusion of Gaia. At one point Nintendo also planned to localize Tenchi Sozo, the unofficial third game in the Soul Blazer "series", under the title of Illusion of Gaia 2. The name was dropped before release and the game ended up being localized only in Europe and Australia under the name Terranigma, although the unused English title is still referenced in the game (despite the fact that the European version of Illusion of Gaia was titled Illusion of Time).

Translation Matchmaking / int_f4559fd1	comment	While the original Kinnikuman manga and anime were never adapted to English, the tie-in rubber figure toyline by Bandai were imported to the U.S. by Mattel under the name of M.U.S.C.L.E., which stood for "Millions of Unusual Small Creatures Lurking Everywhere". When 4Kids and Viz picked up the rights to the Kinnikuman sequel series, Kinnikuman Nisei, they went with the name Ultimate Muscle to invoke a connection with Mattel's toyline, although the "Muscle" in Ultimate Muscle is just a word and not an acronym for anything. Mattel still holds the rights to the M.U.S.C.L.E. trademark, but now produces rubber figures based on other properties, such as He-Man and Street Sharks.
