Translate country names to appear in the correct language
Hello guys, this is my first suggestion to improve localizing Waze. Here's the link to the suggestion box:

Currently when using the app and WME in any language other than English, country names in addresses still appear in English, which makes the address look strange, specially if the language is RTL or uses non-English characters, and in some countries, editors who use WME in different languages sometimes type the city name in different languages which make duplicate cities for the same one city.

Here, "Al Kharj" is the same place as "الخرج". In Waze's terms they are two different cities.
If there would be a way to add city names in different languages through WME or by Waze staff so that the correct name appears in the correct language the user is using, it would be great. (It can also be applied to street names as well). In countries where there are wazers speaking different languages like English and Arabic speaking wazers in the Middle East, having the correct language appear for the correct wazer is very necessary for a convenient experience.
If you guys agree, vote for my suggestion above
Thanks
