In China every thing is written in chinese Coca-Cola is
branded as「可口可乐」. Not the same case in japan though.

I think it is the same with Nike too.

However, I did not mean translating the OSGeo logo.
Perhaps adding some words in local language above
or below the logo so that the local audience knows
what the logo represents.
