I'd say "la blabi zdani". By a quick look at Wiktionary, most languages lis=
ted=20
translate it.

Another example is "la xantyde'i xaskoi". The government has stated that it=

prefers the country's name to be transliterated rather than translated, so=

it's "la .kot.divu=E1r.". But the translated versions of the name still get=

fair bit of use.
