Your sentence was not added because the following already exists.
This translation from Japanese is just wrong. So, in order not to mess up the other language translations based on the English, what should I do? At least the Spanish one is a direct (wrong?) translation of the English sentence.
Tokyo is a terminus of the Tokaido line. Is it unnatural to say that the Tokaido like terminates at Tokyo (= Tokyo is a terminus of the Tokaido line).
The thing is that there is a Japanese verb for "terminate" in this context: [...] 東京行きです。The Japanese sentence has the noun 終点 as in last/final stop or terminus. A better translation would be "The terminus of Tokaido line is Tokyo" or simply "The final/last stop of Tokaido line is Tokyo".
Or, "Tokyo is the terminus of the Tokaido line". :)
Both sentences (with "terminates" and "terminus") effectively mean the same though the wording differs, don't they? :-)
In cases like this we're supposed to add alternate translations leaving the existing one intact unless it's ungrammatical.
