The question pertains to translation of trademarks within articles; to my
knowledge, there's nothing wrong with us doing so, and I think this is done
in many Wikipedias.  But I'll defer to the list on this question.

Hello,
I'm one of Persian wikipedia users.for making pages same name of
trademarks (e.g. films ,games.etc.) we have several choices:
1-we use  same name and same alphabetical with trademark(e.g.
Google-->Google)
2-we same name but Persian Script(e.g. Call of duty-->کال آو دیوتی/KAL
AV DIUTI/)
3-we translate it(Prince of Persian-->شاهزاده ایرانی /SHAHZADE IRANI
means Prince of Persia)
Users of Persian wikipedia (with consequence) use third way usually
but I think change of trademarks is crime and maybe create legal
problem for the Foundation

Please tell us what we do or maybe i think wrong please tell me.
Thanks and best wishes
