Sorry, but categories should have English-language names only.
How can you decide that?
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?).
Categories redirect works quite well, so this argument is not valid. See for example http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Monte_Bianco
And category redirects do not work well, because they divide the media and cause more and more confusion.
See above.
My mother tongue is not English, but it's clear to me that we must have a lingua franca in order to understand each other.
If a find a picture of Teheran and I want to categorize it I'll have to find the correct Persian name of the correct category? That doesn't make sense to me. People should know that is no offence to use English in order to achieve a greater good: communication and understanding.
