How come names are only Transliterated in the Spanish language?

Eg.
>Albert Camus to Alberto Camus
>Joseph Mccarthy to Jose Mccarthy

Italian used to translate foreign names (Carlo Marx, Emanuele Kant, Isacco Newton), but not anymore.

That’s Italian not Spanish.

That doesn't happen anymore and English does the same shit sometimes (they call San Juan de la Cruz 'Saint John of the Cross). Also, that's Italian, not Spanish.

Who says he’s responding to the op image? which is a transliteration of scripts (all European languages do this, and differently – e.g. Dosto(y)esky/Dostoïevski/Dostojewskij), but not a translation into the local form (viz. Basilio for Vassily).

If he's not responding to the OP image he's offtopic. Vasily Grossman is Vasili Grossman in Spanish and Vasilij Grossman in Italian. Stalingrad is Estalingrado in Spanish and Stalingrado in Italian. Either way, there are no translations.

>> No.20114853

Is Stalingrad good?

The newer versions of this are utter shit in comparison to this classic.

At times it feels a bit too much like Soviet propaganda (even though it was banned by the Soviets for not being propagandic enough) but it's still an excellent novel.

They used to have decent covers... It's like they don't want people to buy their ugly books anymore, or maybe they target morons, idk
