That would be better.

By the way, we don't see organization or company use common words as brand
name.

For example, Mozilla use Firefox, Thunderbird as brand name for browser and
mail client. They don't use Mozilla Browser and Mizilla Mail as brand name
in this case.

Keeping words like workstation, server not translated is like to keep words
like browser, mail, office suite untranslated, in my opinion.
