I'd say "la blabi zdani". By a quick look at Wiktionary, most languages listed 
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.divuár.". But the translated versions of the name still get a 
fair bit of use.
