I think it is a brand names, and thus it should be kept as is the case with brand names of systems, programs, and tools. At the same time, I would suggest to use noun+noun compound in Arabic rather than noun+ adjective in this case and in other similar cases. Arabic compounds with idaafah (mudaaf and muddaf ilayh) have more Arabic character than those with noun+adjective. Compare the Arabic usfoor al-naar which is a translation of a famous music 'suite' by Stravinsky.
