[Facts] Re: Spanish translations??
in reply to a message by Jaime
NBames don't really get translated granted if your name was john it would probably get pronounced as yon or juan but names stay the same. addresses and names do not get changed in languages, you can have variation but if you put my namew for instance which is Rachel Bennett, you could get in a lot of trouble with your luggage saying Rachelle(Rochella) Benait.

I think you're blowing this out of proportion. Having a luggage tag with your legal name on one side and the Spanish equivalent of your first name on the other would not cause "trouble." Frankly, having a completely different name on your luggage tag wouldn't cause problems either because your luggage is officially tagged by the airlines with bar codes that match your ticket. No one looks at luggage tags unless a bag loses its airline encoded paper tags.
