I'm going to point out in the comments section, yes, "Komachi = Beauty" is indeed incorrect, there are 6 possible ways to translate this include "Local beauty" and "belle", all trying to mean the same thing.

However, the offica translation is "Beauty" and whether or not you could argue her creators have it wrong, this is their intention. Its not uncommon for the incorrect words to be used by devs when they translate into English, I can think of Rob Lucci from One Piece off the top of my head, whose name was incorrectly translated to mean "steal the light" since "Lucci" was incorrectly translated by a fan to the Italian word for "light" and in English "rob" means "to steal from someone". But this translation has since often been regarded by Oda as semi-official, therefore it has some merit. You get this ALOT in Japanese -> Translation.

So yeah, we know about it, this is regarded as correct.

We go by the "God's word is final" and while that doesn't mean we regard the devs as Gods, it does mean even if they lie we can't argue against them. This is why we also use "Gackpo" and why we had to change Una's name meaning slightly. ITs also why we can't talk about Big Al or Avanna's provider's names or anything like that. It sometimes can get sucky, but when I was in the One Piece wiki editing team we more or less had to deal with this stuff over the years from time to time. In the end we had a ranking system, as some names had 3 official versions, which ranked which name was considered most official over others. IT basically went from most to least; manga, SBS, data books, anime, fan translation, official dub. It was done so we ALWAYS had a line to be drawn.

Prob. encounter this again in a few years time.
