Default Album naming inconsistencies/queries

As I understand it, the main title that albums are catalogued under is a name that whatever album it is is most commonly referred to by English speaking VGM lovers, right?

With that in mind, I was wondering about the Sakura Taisen/Wars listings and also the one for "Record of Agarest War" for these reasons -

I understand that the Sakura Taisen manga has been released in America, as has the movie (and possibly the TV series?) under the name Sakura Wars. So should these albums be listed under "Wars" because that's the moniker the series was given in its only English translation, or should it be left "Taisen" as that's the original name, and the albums here aren't referring to anything to do with the manga/anime?

The last one was just a quick question about "Record of Agarest War". I appreciate that it's written on the front cover, but as the game and OST are both called "Agarest Senki", and there's no English release in sight is this an OK title to use?

Not exactly end of the world stuff, but just some bits I wanted to ask
