Sorry, but categories should have English-language names only.
How can someone find "Bridges in Athens" if the category title was written in Greek? Or "Palaces in Istambul"? Or "Rivers in India" (and what alphabet should we use in this last case?).
Well, if I were a native speaker working on el:, "Bridges in Athens" would be Greek to me. :-)
My understanding was that we agreed to do category names in English as an interim compromise pending software improvements. If those improvements are not happening, then we should consider alternative ideas.

There are some development in category redirects fixing (http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3311), but I don't know how ready to production.
