Where an extra name or translation is shown, the original stays visible. A translation gives its meaning in another language; a transliteration writes it in Latin letters.

“Official” marks a form used by the provider. Other forms are reviewed by the project and are not provider-approved. These labels describe the wording, not accreditation or eligibility.
