Does it say you have to ask author, though? Machine translations might take it as such, being only able to handle word-perfect transpositions that aren't guaranteed to make sense, but 本人 is not a typical first person pronoun in Chinese vocabulary. I think it just means you'll have to make sure the transliteration is accepted by primary person - bearers of translated names. That'd make sense, CJK transliterations are all but canonical.
