[edit] Names of organisations

For organisations in non-English speaking countries we have the potential problem that some of them are not that widely known in English to the point that a single name is always and automatically used. Some of the organisations listed here have Wikipedia pages using English translations of their name (e.g. Austrian National Union of Students not "Österreichische HochschülerInnenschaft") and others use the native language name (e.g. Confédération des jeunes chercheurs rather than the "French Confederation of Young Researchers"). And the vast majority currently have no Wikipedia page yet.

On both this page and Eurodoc (due to copying the list) currently the names given are mainly the native language ones, although on National Unions of Students in Europe the list of members was recently changed from native languages to translation into English. I'm not sure about other comparable transnational and translanguage lists.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how best to list the bodies - whether in English, in the native language or a mixture depending on how well they're known? Timrollpickering 15:41, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
