They do translate tensei differently depending on the context, however. They use "reincarnation" when referring to Asura and Indra (though they did incorrectly use 'reincarnate' as a noun), "Reanimation" when referring to Edo Tensei, and "Animation" when refferring to Muki Tensei.

The latter two translations are both technically incorrect, but also arguably describe the effects of those jutsu more accurately.
