In Hungary the name of kings, queens, popes are translated, everyone else stays the same. Non latin script names have a special latinization rules what is very different from English, so it's hard to search for people if you know only their Hungarian name.
In the 19th century and early 20th century they also translated the names of authors and poets, that's whx here everyone calls Jules Verne as Verne Gyula.
