I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this, but something that has 'bothered' me for years is that in the Dutch version of the game Don Lothario and Cassandra Goth have their English names instead of their Dutch ones (Stefano Bigoli and Alexandra van de Kerkhof). This would be so easy to fix in a patch or whatever, so why has this never been done really?

Like Goths are unchanged in my game, but for some reason we have Gerbert Landgraab instead of Geoffrey, and Calientes have Georgian surname Gongadze.
We can't have English version.
Bella is such a global name that I don't think worth of localizing. I don't think it's an exception in the Netherlands. Renaming popular sims to localize ones sounds like a bad idea. Can't they use closest equivalents?
I guess it's a good thing my language isn't provided for choice
I would lik that option too. At least they kept the world names in sims 4. In sims 2 even those were translated.
I agree. If you absolutely have to translate names (why?) , at least pick something similar. Although the name translations in sims games are not half as irritating as the mess of name translations you find in the Dutch version of the Harry Potter books.
