It's always interested me from a linguistics perspective of what the Wookiee language is actually like. I'd assume Wookiees can't enunciate the same way humanoids can, and vice versa, so there'd be a lot of rough translation of different names and terms

I guess Wookiee to English would be more like translating between a spoken language and a sign language, given the different capabilities of a Human and a Wookiee's voiceboxes, same as the difference between communication with voice or gestures
