Sometimes translated titles are not being used

Sometimes, even in English where we know all suttas are translated, we find a mix of translated titles and root language titles:

Always use translated title if there is one

[ihongda]

The titles of some sutta are indeed untranslated, such as MN144, MN145:

bilara-data/translation/en/sujato/name/sutta/mn-name_translation-en-sujato.json

No, the sutta titles should pull from the name files first, then fallback to the sutta files if there is nothing in the name file.

We have always used the sutta files for adding names. The name files are an extra, which we use primarily for the upper navigation levels (vagga, etc.). There was never any intention to use only the name files.

In the following case, the sutta name is appearing on the site, even though it is not in the name file:
