A fabulously late answer for the Warlock thing: it's translated that way for alliterative appeal. The original line uses Majo (Witch) and Ma(forgot the rest of the word, and also which video's comments I found it in) (Demon King). So while the dub and some of the subs went for a more literal translation, others went for alliteration between Witch and Warlock. Either way, it doesn't make much difference, not even from the shippers' perspective- for the Warlock version, they are recognised as equals, while the Demon variation kinda hints at Lelouch being C.C.'s servant of sorts.

And hey, it could've been much worse. One of the absolutely horrible translations used Magic Knight.
