Using english as an example, one way to handle it is to put the english name first with the original language name in parenthesis after it. That way both names are retained and they are group together.

I have a related issue with my music collection, where some artists/acts have gone by other names. One example that comes to mind is the group Prozzäk which is the original name of the group and the name they still use in Canada. However, in the U.S. they used the name "Simon & Milo" for a time (as presented Simon and Milo are the two members of the group). In my music collection I list all tracks by that group as "Prozzäk (Simon & Milo)" so they are all grouped together and to retain both names.

I hope that helps.
