translation of the name should the name really be translated into english for example on the catalan wikipedia would one talk about for example plaid cymru or el partit de gal les would one talk about l'ump union pour la majorit presidentielle or l'ump uni per la majoritat presidencial i've yet to see many articles about the peoples' party spain we can or citizens but yet united left and spanish workers' socialist party appear to be in use my rationale for this is that i would always refer to carrer balmes rather than balmes street to poblenou rather than new town and to the eixample rather than the expansion but then i might be biased so want to hear alternative points of view this is meant to be the start of a discussion rather than anything else please add to the discussion if the result of this is that names shouldn't be translated i'd recommend that this page me moved to converg ncia democr tica de catalunya and for example initiative for catalonia greens be moved to iniciativa per catalunya verds
