OK, I got it.

"fedora workstation", "fedora server", "fedora cloud" and "fedora atomic"
are reserved as brand name and should not be translated. If we want them to
be translated, it would be better to cooperate with Fedora Design/Brand and
Fedora Legel to register those translated names in corresponding regions to
protect our products.

What about "workstation", "server" and "cloud" which does not not contain
*fedora* in the beginning listed in Download page? They refer to the
corresponding product, but do not use the brand name. I believe using
translated names here could be a guide for local people to find the product
suits him/her better in his/her language. I would like to know what's the
posisition from Fedora Legel on this issue?
