When do I have to translate people's names?
I observed that Biblical names are always translated to Spanish, and so are papal names. I thought that, for all other names, they are spelled as-is, either from the person's native language or via the closest English version of the name... but then I saw Maria Sharapova's entry in the Spanish Wikipedia and saw that her name there was made Hispanic.
Furthermore, the textbook that I'm reading suggests translating Charles and Mary to Carlos y María, and vice-versa. So when do we translate people's names to Spanish?
