Interesting question :-)
I think it partly depends on the situation / public that you comminicate 
with.
In some groups it would be perfect OK to just write the names in 
English. While maybe for most (just a guess) transliterate would be best.
Personally I would like to avoid the first option, translation to their 
literal meaning. And if it is used, only in combination with one of the 
two others.

I hope theses thoughts help a bit!

Kind regards,
Cor
