According to the main site, "Star Dragon Sword" was supposed to be "Zodiac Sword". Then what is the better translation of "King Dragon Sword"?

That's the higher-level version of the Star Dragon Sword in Suikoden I. You get it when the SDS is sharpened to level 12. It doesn't exist in S2, IIRC.

Ok SO

In Suikoden 1, Viktor gets the Star Dragon Sword. If you upgrade it enough it turns into the King Dragon Sword
Barbarosa's sword is called Dragon King Sword, the "King" and the "Dragon" are switched around. Lol.

I'm pretty sure that's a translation issue.

If I recall correctly, the Zodiac Sword was mistranslated as the Star Dragon Sword. In all probability, its sharpened version was also mistranslated. Thus the odd coincidence in names of the King Dragon Sword and Barbarossa's Dragon King Sword.

Much like the True Holy Rune not being a True Rune.

I wouldn't say there's a connection. If you think about it, Barbarossa was an emperor turned into a golden dragon thing. Thus, Dragon King. Star Dragon is a mistranslation of Zodiac. If the Dragon King sword was the one Tessai was talking about then it would be in there to add depth to the game, rather than a hint to bring another sword to him.
