For languages written in non-latin scripts, we do transliterate the name
of the translators. However, the sticky point in this case is getting
the pronunciation of the names correct for the transliteration. I often
poke my co-translators (named in the colophon section) for the correct
pronunciation of their names (particularly Latin American , French and
Eastern European names). Probably, a number of Indian names may also
require clarification for non-Indian translators.
