Eugene, those are "/proper names/" and as such they are untranslatable, and that's exactly why to put a category name within a proper name is "/a very bad idea (tm)/". But if a proper name happens to have a category has part of its proper name, just leave it alone... no problem... Cheers!

Just to inject a bit of OT here - the EN name of the Vierwaldstättersee is Lake Lucerne - the literal translation is "lake of the four forest settlements" (only loosely related to the notion of cantons) In both cases naming the lake  "Lucerne" or "Vierwaldstätten" would obviously be nonsense.
