The original has the right name, XSEED has not officially said anything about the other installments other than the intent to still try and bring them over.
The trilogy was announced but they put it on the back burner and the titles for "SC" and "the 3rd" are not confirmed. If you look anywhere in the press releases:
it is not mentioned at all. They only refer to the "Trails in the Sky trilogy" in the original but not the specific game titles, and there is no mention of SC or the 3rd in the others. Although I do think they will keep SC and the 3rd if they get the chance to bring them over their titles are not official at this point.
If a game is announced and not cancelled you cannot just arbitrarily assume that it will be. Especially when the most recent information says they are still working on it.
You seem to be misunderstanding. I did not say it was cancelled at all, they said a few months ago that they had to rearrange their priorities:
"All I can really do is assure you guys that progress is… slow, but existent. There’s still a mountain of work left to do, though, and we’re still on pretty shaky ground with this title," Tom Lipschultz, Localization Specialist, explained. "The first game hasn’t exactly turned out to be a top-seller for us so far (despite overwhelmingly positive feedback from fans), which means we really can’t justify prioritizing the second (especially given its insane length). But we’re not giving up! We still plan to move forward, slowly but surely, until the project either gets done or becomes completely and totally unfeasible – whichever comes first. If series fans want to hurry us along, they’ll need to convince more people to buy the first game so we can have more funding to hire more people to work on the second, and have bigger numbers to convince our investors that Trails 2 is worthy of being prioritized."

What I am trying to really tell you though is that regardless of that the official titles was never confirmed by XSEED for the second and third installments. There is no official name for them at this point, they can go with Trails 2 and Trails 3 or Chapter Two and Chapter Three. It doesn't matter much, but they haven't said anything about the names yet.
The second game is going to be called Trails in the Sky: Second Chapter. It is the naming convention they have already established. This is stupid I am going to go play Diablo.

But seriously now - it is loot time.
I have presented my case as best I can. Time for the mods to decide.
Except XSEED have not used it them-selves, Siliconera is not XSEED and Tom did not use that name. So using the Japanese title is perfectly valid and is what should be used until they formally announce the name. Why is this so hard to understand? They have clearly avoided using that name in any official capacity so far on purpose when they could have so very easily done otherwise. I don't think it's really an important point and I'm not sure why it was worth arguing over in the first place, but you've been rather persistent and I've tried to explain it to you. The original page has the only title the game has been officially given so far and the only evidence you even have to the contrary is the title of another Siliconera article that was linked to.
