Hey I've got one more question.

Should I translate HP and XP also or leave it as such?

That's for you to decide. You can either translate them or copy the original values if there's no good translation.

Look at other games in your language that use these shortcuts, I'd say.

I find that many RPG and strategy games in my language are using HP and XP as standard (since most of their games are in English, and with Indonesian translation, they kept the HP and XP). So should I keep it?

It is your decision, you have to decide what you think is best in your language. We don't know Indonesian (at least most of use don't know it) so we can't really judge if you should translate it or leave it untranslated. Just make it the way that you would like to see it in a game you downloaded from the net. That often is the best way to go in translations. Make it the way you expect and like it and many others are likely to like it, too.

I'm sorry if my English is bad and not comprehensible...
