Since both "Fatwa" and "Imam" are used in "Merriam-Webester's Coolegiate Dictionary", they could be freely used in any translation, giving some extra explanation –if you wish- as a footnote or between brackets, to specify what you exactly mean by each term, or just use the meaning if you wish.
Nawâzil literally means "calamities." But there is a branch in Islâmic Fiqh which deals with “crucial contemporary issues” which come up every day, in financial transactions, medicine, scientific research etc. These issues did not exist in previous times, and that's why they are not to be found in regular books of Fiqh, and need Fatwas to be issued concerning their legal status in Islâm; such as credit cards, bank interests, cloning etc. I recently translated a book called "Fiqh an-Nawâzil" and after several debates with the author and his colleagues, agreed on using the word "Nawâzil" (in transliteration) putting between brackets (contemporary issues). Sometimes this branch is called in Arabic "الفقه المعاصر"
Sorry for the long explanation
