[Talk-il] How do you write Holon in English?

[Moshe Sayag]

Yes, I know imageshack and I often use it.

This image is just a funny thing I got and not a real question.
Anyway, when I want to translate a name of a place or a street, I usually
turn to wikipedia, find it in Hebrew and then switch to the English
translation of the page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holon
But it doesn't always answer all my questions...
How should I translate ארלוזורוב? Should I write "Arlosorov" as people will
probably search for, or "Arlosoroff", the "true" name?
