Should I anglicise foreign names of people/places/organizations in my research? What does academic community think of anglicising foreign names in their research? For example, saying Istanbul rather than İstanbul (with capital "İ"), or, author's name, Tasan, instead of Taşan.
For anything that's not written in the Latin alphabet, use the standard transliteration from the relevant alphabet (e.g., "Vladimir Putin", not "Владимир Путин"). For people's names written in the Latin alphabet, keep the accents if possible. For place names, if there is a standard Anglicization, use that (e.g., "Cologne" rather than "K&ouml;ln", "Istanbul" rather than "İstanbul"); otherwise, keep the accents (e.g., "L&uuml;beck" and "Şanlıurfa").
