Yes, that's a pathological case. And what do you do with Keats's poem
_La belle dame sans merci_, where both the title and the critical phrase
are in French, when you wish to translate it into French?
Or still worse, the opening dialogue of _War and Peace_?

The Russian (?) translation of Umberto Eco's _The Name of the Rose_ represents
the Latin passages with Church Slavonic.
