So what is Lojban called in Spanish, and other languages? It is an
irony that, surprisingly, had never struck me before, that the name
of this international/transnational, culturally neutral, language
should be so hard to render into other languages. I imagine "Loglan"
works much better. Surely it might present a real impediment to the
propagation of Lojban if in some languages there is a lack of a 
pronuncible name for it.
