Would life overall be simpler if we had a preference for Latin page names, when possible? Of course we would still have redirects from the vernacular, but the languagebar could use {{PAGENAME}}. We could have, for example, "Dii Indigites" rather than "Native Gods" and so forth. I'm not sure that we would really get very much benefit, strictly speaking, but it seems like something we ought to promote. | Would life overall be simpler if we had a preference for Latin page names, when possible?

Would life overall be simpler if we had a preference for Latin page names, when possible? Of course we would still have redirects from the vernacular, but the languagebar could use Language Policies. We could have, for example, "Dii Indigites" rather than "Native Gods" and so forth. I'm not sure that we would really get very much benefit, strictly speaking, but it seems like something we ought to promote.
