A name doesn't have to be translated canonically to be translated. 
Sometimes a translation is appropriate; sometimes it is better to keep 
it in the original language.

For a fascinating example of this, see J.R.R. Tolkien's own instructions 
to translators on how to translate the names in /The Lord of the Rings:/ 
A Guide to the Names in /The Lord of the Rings/ 
<http://tolkien.ro/text/JRR%20Tolkien%20-%20Guide%20to%20the%20Names%20in%20The%20Lord%20of%20the%20Rings.pdf>/./
