<p>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.</p>
<p>For a fascinating example of this, see J.R.R.
Tolkien's own instructions to translators on how to
translate the names in <i>The Lord of the Rings:</i>

<div>Indeed, Facebook’s own guidelines say that its name is
not to be translated. It should be referred to officially as
exactly “Facebook” in every language.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>That doesn’t stop unauthorized *unofficial* usage, of
course.</div>

Given Klingon phonology, it would be difficult to refer to it as
*exactly* Facebook. You'd have to transliterate it. <br>

<p>No you wouldn't. Klingons can say foreign words just like anybody
else. <i><b>Facebook</b></i><b> vImuvpu'pa' jIQuch.</b><br>
