So, as I understand, leaders and cities in national languages,
only nation names is English? Good, let it be like this!
Nation names should probably be i18n marked similarily to
unit names... This should be mentioned at the beginning of
the ruleset file.

(Of course, some common sense should be used as well, because
more people know Cheops than Chufu, which is the same guy.
I could even give some more drastic examples of egyptian
or babylonian names - I'd have to look into books. Persian Cyrus
is now transliterated as Kurusz and so on...)
