Having different nations translate the swan's name differently is perfectly fine. In fact, that probably makes it more realistic.
Regarding Honor Harrington: I've read a good number of them- books 1 to 8. I haven't been able to find the later ones, but that doesn't bother me too much. I personally think they started going downhill. Still, it's my favorite depiction of space combat because I feel it's the most realistic. Energy weapons don't make sense in space, so launching salvos of hundreds of nuclear-tipped missiles against the enemy's point defense and countermeasure systems would be more realistic.
