Italian term or phrase: Corso Regina
più che la traduzione della parola "Corso", in realtà vorrei sapere se i nomi delle vie, delle piazze, dei parchi... devono essere tradotti quando si traduce verso l'inglese. Per es. "strada" rimane "strada" o diventa "street"? Lo stesso per corso.

Explanation:
I wouldn't translate all those proper names. Moreover it makes your story more authentical (if you're translating a novel).

If it's in an address, your postman won't be able to deliver the letter if he doesn't know English...

HTH,
