I did some search to find out what name given to this series in the "products represented" box, and to put it back for all the albums concerning this series.

Regarding the Japanese name, apparently 大戦隊ゴーグルファイブ is more used in Japan, although 大戦隊ゴーグルV is also valable.

There are boxes of toys with the inscription "Goggle Five", or "Google V", or again "Google-V".
Note that I've never seen romanization with the words "Google" or "Daisentai".

Then the Toei’s old archived website put an rather ugly "Dei Sentai Goggle Five" as romanization and "Goggle V" as English title (n° 328 in the board):
https://web.archive.org/web/20090119...ies-title.html

I remain skeptical about this site when I see some ugly romanizations or weird translations.

For western sites, most opt first for the name "Dai Sentai Goggle-V" (or Dai Sentai Google V) instead of "Dai Sentai Google Five", there must be a good reason.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dai_Se...ite_note-Dai-1

Now I may have found the reference: in 2011 Nippon Columbia released the Complete Theme Songs of the Super Sentai Series Collection (7 volumes) digitally.
On this occasion they translated the names of all the series, as well as the opening and ending themes:
https://i.scdn.co/image/ab67616d0000...d4c2f0945f0d63

So they translated the series and the opening theme by "Dai Sentai Goggle-V”.
So for me this is a good reference.

There remains a small problem: on some vinyls of the series, the title or the song in Japanese "大 戦 隊 ゴ ー グ ル V" has furigana "フ ァ イ ブ ":

https://vgmdb.net/db/covers.php?do=view&cover=341334

It’s clear that the spelling of V is "Five" and so the romanization should be "Dai Sentai Google Five" too, but we are not going to change the name of a song from one album to another, everything must remain homogeneous, so what do we do in that case?
